Default LOW TYRE PRESSURE INDICATORS

NOT BEING LAZY JUST ANOTHER CRACKED RIM
car runs on 17inch momos with 205,40,17s skins
its hard sometimes to tell if the tyres ok or low on air with 40s
getting fed up checking each tyre with a hand gauge
drove to a mates on sunday only 2 miles but back left was flat
hit a pot hole cracked another rim
but ONLY £30 to weld it and refit skin & balance


engineeringshop DID A AWESOME JOB


seen these things advertised go onto of the valve green/red indicator
says if tyre pressures are LOW think there about £15/20 set of four
ANDBODY HERE USED THEM "DO THEY WORK" ???

I have been wondering if they are any good as well. The Renault ones are great but at £72 a valve they bloody ought to be!

no not a factory job , these are advertised in papers and on the net
you get your tyre to the right pressure then screw the top bit on
it adapts to the pressure allready inside the tyre then either shows "carnt rem"
red or green ....if the pressure drops the colour changes
sounds cool to me the skin was 2 weeks old on my car
but the boss is a mate so he put it back on
normally they say tyres fooked refuse to put it back on
fook i only drive 12 miles a day through the week @ about 40ishMPH
TO WORK & BACK

You can get valve caps that have a readout. I saw them on a Yank website a while ago. Lemme have a looksee for a link.
