Ordinarily I would say Discount Tire as they check for me during rotate/balance every 5K, but your in a dark spot PA.

This is the top one on Amazon, what DT use to use, now they radar it with a phone device.

They are all the same. Buy whatever is cheap. This isn't rocket surgery.

I bought this because it was a $3 deal at one time. They should all be $3-$5.

I bought this one and like it. Analog, no batteries, simple and easy to read.

Don't drop it.

Who cares if you drop it. A dime is otherwise worthless. Can’t even make a phone call with a dime. ( Ok, I’m showing my age, sorry)

LOL, come on, you're old enough to know what it means, too...

Modern Usage of Drop a Dime
Over time, the phrase has evolved to take on a more figurative meaning. You’ll often see it used to indicate that someone is making a call to “rat out” or inform someone else, usually to the authorities.

In this context, “drop a dime” is often used as a verb. A member of the mob in a crime movie might say, “I’m not going to drop a dime on you, but you should be careful.”
