One guy on the forum tried that brand from Amazon and was very unhappy with them, and last I heard he was sending them back.

Fill your tires with Nirtrogen and you won't have this issue.

Why not? I believe Nitrogen follows the Ideal Gas Law just like air...which is almost 80% nitrogen to begin with. Heat up a given amount contained in a constant volume and the pressure will rise.

I just had to air down my tires, every year i forget about hot air expansion until i hit a bump going down the road and my truck shifts sideways lol

Well, you'd certainly have to hope their build quality is better than their language quality.

I certainly wouldn't expect much from such a system. I think I'd have to give it a pass, and wait for some other guinea pig with some bucks to spare.

I'm not necessarily fond of that old chestnut, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
