Tire pressure is such an important thing so i wonder if this may help. I know that this product may have to be compensated with big weights.

1. Some of us just actually check the tires OURSELVES. It costs $10 for a decent gauge and you don't have to run MORE **** into your interior and find a place for some monitoring display.

2. You are talking about an APC product sold through JC Whitney. Real quality stuff.....if you want tire-pressure monitoring hardware (why?), check out the systems at www.tirerack.com

I wouldn't bother. I bought a 4x4 tire gauge with a release so you can air down for about $10, I use that to check my pressures between autox runs. Works like a champ.

I use a 10$ digital key chain tire gauge... works flawlessly.

I know it's apc i was skeptical to even post it. I check my tires manually also, but a lot of people post wondering why they get uneven tread wear or that the car pulls to one side while break. So i was wondering if it was a good product for those not always checking the crucial areas on a car.

Instead of relying on even more weight and complexity, people should just learn how to maintain their damn car. To me, it's a part of owning/driving a car, just like getting gas or changing the oil.

Anyway, the systems have been out for a few years now, Tire Rack has good advice on selecting a system and better quality stuff than that APC garbage.

i dont think the purpose of the product was to make people lazy though. its hard to tell you have a flat with large sidwalls and the tire can be run flat, so its a good idea but kinda expensive.

Even harder with small sidewalls (30 amd 35 section tires). I installed my new wheels today (bought them used) and couldnt tell that there was only about 7lbs. of pressure in them until I jacked up the car on one side. Once I noticed, I used a little digital tire pressure tool and aired then up.

The reason this product was implemented in production vehicles was because of the switch to OEM run-flat tires. Now, because of the Explorer/Firestone incident, all cars will be required to have these systems from the factory -- more weight and expense because joe blow doesn't check his tire pressure.

I call 'em like I see 'em.....

How's your car coming with the new BNRs? Have you gotten it tuned for higher boost yet?

Negative. Working on it, recently made good contact with JD, so we shall see when she can be tuned. I'd like to get dynoed in the winter, so that I can disregard SAE corrected #s and make monster power to brag about, like most of the others on here

Oh, btw.....I wish you lived closer, I would bribe you to install my h2o inj (I saw you post that you are running it). I have an Aquamist 2D system sitting in my garage and I don't want to mess with the install, hehe.

Heh, my mechanic installed it, with both of us trying to figure out how to route and place the items. I have no patience for setting up switches/wiring and am too busy at work and around the house lately to do it myself anyway.
