lol a bomb....its a homemade pipe bomb for the tire pressure sensors. With after market wheels that don't support our tpms this bomb he made he will stick all 4 tpms in there and fill it up to 35psi so the light wont go off nice looking bomb by the way.

HAHA... That's a neat idea. But you won't be able to know if you have low pressure in your tires.

That is why you check them frequently.

My "bomb" is my spare tire. I just stuck the TPMS sensors in there and haven't had a problem since.

He may quickly know about an outright flat. But another question would be what happens if he get a slow leak while driving a freeway speeds on a hot day resulting in the now hot tire blowing leading to his getting killed?

My post was in regard to him throwing his sensors in his spare tire. If he gets a flat, how will he use the spare tire?

1) The spare tire should be set to about 60 psi. You would have to lower the psi to 35 to prevent the light.
2) You have sensors rolling around in your tire. They probably would be destroyed if you ever had to use the spare.
