So, if hypothetically, I adjust all my tires to indicate exactly 32.0PSI, one tire might actually have 33, another one 31, and so on?

So how do I know if the gauge is indicating low(causing me to overinflate) or indicating high(resulting in underinflation)?

By "lower full scale capability" do you mean, buying a 5-60psi gauge vs a 5-100 model?
