DB26 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hello everyone, I recently acquired a set of Schrader balloon and universal tire gauges. I tested them on my ‘26 Dodge (With Budd Steel Wheels) and have very different results. I expected the balloon tire gauge to read and the universal not. But I got the opposite. The balloon tire gauge was off the charts and the universal was within actual readings. Am I using the wrong gauge for the wrong application? Or maybe one is broken? What do you think?

Mark Shaw Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) One is not calibrated correctly. They should both read the same pressure within the range of the lower pressure gage.
