Vigil tire pressure gauge

98940 · 10-19-2007, 08:28 PM

I've been using a Michelin Vigil (made by Schrader) tire pressure gauge
for about 15 years.
I think I got it from Rider Warehouse, the Aerostitch suit guys.

Bought it after one of the rags gave it good reviews
for being a precise & accurate piece.

Anyway, Rider Warehouse doesn't carry it anymore,
woman on phone had no idea why,
and a google search doesn't show it for sale anywheres.

Did they discontinue this thing? Anyone know where they're still for sale?

Great tool for the price (~$30).

Hi,

After I thought I had lost my original,I picked one up from the Coker Tire folks a few years back.
Looked on their website but don't see it listed.You might try to contact them and see if they still have some.

Ask your dealer to call Motorace in Wilbraham Mass. They were a long Michelin distributor and used to sell the Vigil guage. Not sure if they still carry them but worth a call. motorace.com I believe.

If that's the one, I bought one last fall at Anchorage BMW.
They're not giving those things away, that's for sure...but I'm glad I bought it.

The Flaig sold by Aerostich looks very nice too. http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/...e-p-16390.html

It does. It truly does.

But ... between the smoke from our vicious wildfires and the glass of (vodka and) OJ I just finished drinking, I think I gagged when trying to say "DRUCKMESSGERÄT" aloud

Anybody ever used one of these, incidentally? Farily easy to work in through spokes, etc?

When searching for a particular gauge a while back I saw quite a few of those listed on eBay. I much prefer the EZ-air gauge however.
