Tire pressure monitoring systems

Haveing read the above comments I will stay with my hand held tire pressure gauge. However, be sure to get a good one. Not a $9.99 special. I am luckly that I can have mine checked at least once a year at lab that is tracable to the national standards.

And when you run over something in the road that starts a leak down of one of your front tires, resulting in heat build-up, that in turn results in a sudden blow-out, that tire guage will be one of the items flying about as you leave the road. Be sure to grab it as it goes by because it's a good one.
