glad i had tyre pressure monitors today

[bisbee]

did over two hundred miles today about 2 miles from home on the A1 a yellow diamond flashed up on the clock display at ahem 70 plus followed quickly by a red diamond I scrubbed the speed off and got home with only one bar in the rear on checking I had picked up a nail gun brad in the rear feck it it's only done 8000 miles
the point is I got the warning before it went squidgy so

+1 I had a similar experience about a month ago. Great system. Its a pity you cant control the pressure with them. thats what it is called. Tyer pressure control. JJH

 

[Magwych]

and that is what they are for

I'm sure we don;t really need to measure the pressure, adjusted to a 20degC equivalent at all times; but it is really useful to know you have a puncture as soon as possible...

I have had few false alarms, normally in the vicinity of a Chrysler

It is a very useful system that lets you know as soon as you lose pressure.

Below a certain level, such as when you let the pressures down for offroading, they give you a permanent warning. IMHO the system would be better if they alerted you to a change in pressure when at low presure.

.... Tyre pressure control. JJH

Are they called that? It will be a poor translation from German kontrolle, which in this application is not control but monitoring.
