I need a new tire gauge for next season... Should I get another digital or go with an analog gauge?? oil filled or not?? Looking for suggestions...

No need for liquid filled gauges. The only application those are useful is where you have pressure changing rapidly or a reason for gauges to flutter (think of pulses in the fluid you're measuring.) Plus the liquid in them can slow it down. Just get a regular one.

I prefer analog myself, but digital are likely more accurate and might stay more accurate longer.

One recommendation I've heard a few guys say is to buy 2, set one in a safe location and use it for checking the accuracy of the one you use all the time.

I use two, a good $$$ analog and a cheaper analog. The cheaper is used first to make sure the tires won't peg the high dollar gauge. Never go past the amount it was designed for.

I like the digital gauges much better. Been burned by quite a few analog gauges in the past from all brands. This is what i use now.
