Which one do you guys use? I know the wheeleze only require about 2-4psi but none of my gauge would give me a reading. I ended up buying 2 (a digital rated from 0-120psi, and a cheap manual rated for 0-20psi) but both wouldn't give me a reading even When I pumped more air into the wheels.

Pump it up by feel.  You won't find a gauge with that level of sensativity at any reasonable price.

Lol, problem is I don't know what 2-4psi feels like. I might have to go to a kayak shop that sells them and compare the difference.

Not too firm, not too soft.  Just right. :smt003

Most bicycles are higher pressure; my road bike was like 120psi.  The beach carts are the only think I can think of that would be even remotely close to these very low pressures.  It just comes down to a feel & the amount of weight in the yak.

I just googled 'low pressure tire gauge' & even most of the low pressure ones read in increments of 2 psi.

Atv stock tires run 3-5psi. At least my yfz did.

Probably don't want to spend this much, but here's a link to their site for a gauge and pump.

Thanks for the input guys. Ill check the local atv dealer around my place. I Really dont want to spend too much on a gauge I'd barely use. Last resort would be the "estimate by touch" method.

I leave mine out on a warm day, then pump them up as far as they will go with a bicycle pump. They seem perfect afterward in the cold mornings. Probably not the manufactures recommended method, but it works for me.

If you have a reason to go by Benecia on a weekday, you might go into Wheeleez and see what you can negotiate - I bought my wheels years ago there and they sweetened the deal by giving me the gauge.
