Is this gauge reading 90 or 95 psi?

The hash mark next to the number is slightly darker than the other hashes, but not noticeably in the pic.

It's anyone's guess.

I'd either chuck it or compare it against one or two digital gauges.

BTW, I don't trust any new tire gauge until I have compared it with known gauges.

Look at the 10 and you will see it is reading 90.

The Gauge is reading 95 psi. The dash in the middle of the 0 is the 0 amount. like 10,20 30. the little dash marks are 2 lbs incriments.

Do yourself a favor and spend $20. Go get a digital gauge.

I agree, get a better gage, if you have to ask what it reads, it's time for it to go.

Maybe not digital, but a dial analog gage of better quality than the one you have.

I guarantee,this is made in China.

90 psi. As noted above, the small marks are 2 psi, but counting down from the top (and ignoring the missing mark in the 0-10 psi range) you don't hit the large number value until the large mark is exposed.
