u stick all the tpms in your spare isnt the psi really high? Does you tpms only notify us when they are low??? Does it notify you when they are too high?

I have one of those and it works perfect. keep you eyes on your tire pressure and you won't have to worry about anything. TPMS haven't been around for centuries!

I'm pretty sure our cars use the "indirect" method for measuring the air pressure the sensors don't know the exact pressure...they only compare pressures with the other sensors and when one sensor if different from the other 3 sensors, the warning will go off.

Since all 4 are in one tire, it probably dosen't matter how much air is in that tire...it will prbably never go off.

Someone please correct me if im wrong though!

Another pipe bomb thread that deserves a recall. This is so funny but it really works.

I have one and it works great. The only time you will lose pressure in the bomb is when you have temp changes. Like here in hawaii, it rarely hits 60's but this year it dropped and i had to put about 2lbs of pressure back in. Its something like 1lb of pressure for every 2 degrees, but dont quote me on that.
