Also don't like the fact that in a way, you're kind of making two tires back into one when you add those things. I know the crossfire is not supposed to allow it to happen, but I have read where in some circumstances, if one tire loses a lot of air suddenly (like in a blowout), the crossfire will allow air to cross over, causing the other tire to go flat as well. Pretty much eliminates one of the big advantages of having duals, if a blowout with one can take the other one with it.
Still a cool idea, though.
Would that situation show up if one would have a pressure monitor attached to the crossfire? If yes, would it show up fast enough that one could react in time?
Having a tire pressure monitor attached would not prevent that situation from happening, no. You'd still be basically making the two tires into one as far as air pressure goes, in a way.
As to whether or not the monitor would give you warning of such in time to react: Maybe, maybe not. Guess would depend on how quickly one of the tires loses its air.
