Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Anyone have?

What??? I can tell instantly when even near a vehicle if it has a low tire. It just stands out like a turd in a punch bowl. When driving...never ruined a low tire yet.

Yeah, when walking up to the truck it's obvious; you'll have a noticeable sag. But as said earlier, when in stop and go traffic for extended amounts of time, it's a bit difficult to feel. You get a nail while in rush hour stop and go traffic and then have an hour+ of barely 20mph with it very slowly leaking, it's a bit difficult to tell. You're not going fast enough to get a feel for the vehicle dynamic, and at that speed every road deformity feels a lot worse, not to mention the constant braking. No every flat is a blow out.

Obviously once it's FLAT you'll feel it regardless.

To each their own....but I want less bling bling, hand holding, feel good, mind sucking, self driving junk on my vehicles.


I love that mindset when it comes to electronics in vehicle. The same mindset that people had when moving from carburetors to fuel injection. I actually met someone a couple years ago when selling my jeep who was only looking for a carbureted vehicle because he 'hates all those government electronics' controlling his car...and he was maybe in his mid 30's...Apparently his dad trained him well. In 2015 he was scared of vehicle computers...
I mean seriously...

While not strictly necessary, how is an extra dummy sensor a bad thing? You might not always be the person driving your T4R, or you personally might **** up and not notice a flat one day.

Sensors help keep vehicles in prime condition. The ODBII port and check engine light is extra bling; is that too much? I can tell when my engine is bad too; when it starts knocking/ ticking/ making weird noises.
It does help to have a bit of warning first though.

I like it. The TPMS in my work van has saved me several times. One time, I saw my warning come on. Then I watched as I was losing about 1 psi every 2-3 minutes. I pulled into a 7-11 and found the nail and put a plug in it. (I carry a tire repair kit) It was close because the tire was REALLY low. Threw a couple quarters in one of those practically worthless air machines and filled the tire. About a 15 minute pitstop.

Yep. The best part about this this, is all you do is replace the cap. Tire doesn't need to be dismounted. You could even get one for your spare.
 
I'm not for or against add on pressure monitors but I don't believe anyone can look at an LT tire and tell if it's 5 lbs low, or even "feel" it for that matter.

Hook a trailer up with 300-400 lbs of tongue weight and drive 500 miles on a 100 degree day and it might be nice to have the monitor though.
You'd have to keep in mind they gain pressure with heat.

Anyone that can tell by simply by looking should be able to get a job at nascar or f1 I think.

I actually like the stealthy ones. The CareUD one. Kids will steal anything. But I like the in dash mount. Kinda looks factory. Only problem is it's the "new" size switch which is a little bigger than our 3rd gen blanks. I guess I could cut the dash, but I really try to avoid doing stuff like that.
