SteveR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sounds like a top idea, but a bit bleeding expensive isn't it!!! You could buy enough sets of pressure monitor dust caps to last 7 years with them being nicked every month at that price!! Do you get out and check them mid-lap or high speed run? I'd like as much warning of a semi-rapid deflation under those circumstances. Also I think I'd find it useful to see what's going on under non-failure operating circumstances, e.g. at a track you have to very quickly get off the track (no cool down = bad) and equaliiy as quickly then get out of the car and run round each tyre to read the pressure before they cool down, especially on a cold day when they will lose some of that heat-induced pressure.

Wez Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 How would this work if you had multiple sets of wheels Wez? Can the receiver store profiles for different sets or do you need to re-register the transmitters each time? You would need to have transmitters each wheel and then when you swap the wheels over its an approx 2min per wheel job to register the different wheel.

SteveR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wez, would you mind asking the supplier if we'd need to start using a 'specialist tyre fitter' (i.e. someone who takes care) once these are fitted? I remember something about Renaults and possibly the new Skyline having stuff like this and as a result, being picky about how tyres are fitted if you're not to break anything during the process.

Depends how you have the sensor mounted, I would just make sure that you tell the tire fitter that the sensor is in there and to be careful.

Marco79 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Would the sensors cope with being swopped to new rims, and if so how would you go about re-bonding them on? If they can be swopped over to new rims easily then count me in if we can reach magic number of 10 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can be swopped over to new rims easily then count me in if we can reach magic number of 10 :-) Removing from the wheel would depend how you installed them. You can either bond them to the wheels or use the valve mounts, its upto you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco79 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Oh cool hadn't realised the valve mounts weren't bonded :-) count me in!! Only one more then ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wahooo, only two more needed JamieP? I'll PM little & bignum, but those boys use 3 different sets of tyres (each) depending on the pupose & condition, so I doubt they'll want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm up for one of these.... have been looking before but not buying due to the price. £145 sounds spot on And luckily my new tyres arrived today for my new alloys on the Focus. Just in time to buy these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
