The system alerts the driver when tyre pressure or tyre temperatures are abnormal. It is totally wireless and CE Certified. In the USA T.P.M.S is required to be fitted by law on new vehicles from September 2007. Many European vehicles already have this system installed. It saves fuel, it saves tyre wear, it saves lives.

Cheers D Do you mean in the wheels, from the outside all you will see is the new tyre valve head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can the battery be replaced after 7 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_r Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can the battery be replaced after 7 years? Just had a good look on the website. The replacement batteries come as part of the sensor and are about £40 each. Replacement valves are about £4. I've always been interested in these, might look into it. Few things I need to sort out first before this though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I looked at this system a while ago but put off the purchase due to lack of pennies. If we can get the numbers for the discount then count me in. 01 : Wez 02 : SteveR 03 : 04 : 05 : 06 : 07 : 08 : 09 : 10 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was only thinking the other day something like this would be quite useful, hadn't got as far as looking if it actually existed - good timing. I'm potentially up for this. 01 : Wez 02 : SteveR 03 : Animal 04 : 05 : 06 : 07 : 08 : 09 : 10 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermonkey Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 will this affect the balance of the wheel? can any old tyre fitter fit these? what wheels will they fit. i could be very interested in this at the right price 01 : Wez 02 : SteveR 03 : Animal 04 : Spidermonkey 05 : 06 : 07 : 08 : 09 : 10 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just spoke with Ben from TyreSure and here are some more details. Can the battery be replaced after 7 years? No, its a sealed unit and the min life span is 7 years, once the battery has died a new unit is required which at the moment is approx £40. Wez, do they come in different sizes, I already have trouble getting 6 mm valves for my Kosei wheels? maybe intrested but theres not a lot of info on fitting how do they fit into after market wheels? The unit itself does not have to be installed with the valves, you can bond them anywhere within the wheel if you wish. The valve mount is just the supplied method. I also confirmed that these are designed for harsh environments and are already used by a number of people within the Time Attack etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I wonder what the cost would be for a tyre place to remove all tyres, fit these, re fit tyres, re balance and refit wheels, any thoughts, I like the idea of having one of these, a gadget that actually has a real use and a safety feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wez, do they come in different sizes, I already have trouble getting 6 mm valves for my Kosei wheels? Presumably if the sensor doesn't need to be mounted to the valve then you could use your existing valves... Wez? How would you mount them to the wheels if you didn't use the valve attachment, would they need to be bonded onto the outer surface of the rim wheel (inside the tyre), in much the same way as the balancing weights? I'm interested, and if the price is keen enough I may be interested in 2 (or even 3 sets). The next question which is slightly off topic, is what is the best way to determine the optimum pressure for your tyre / wheel combination?

Al Massey Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just to let you know guys i have bought these before and have used on various cars and they are an amazing bit of kit. Any tyre place can fit them as they fit like all valves do or you can have them without the valve anywhere in the wheel. The screen is also easy to use. i would recommend these to anyone. I lost my last set when i sold my golf and depending on money later in the month i will be up for the groupbuy on these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted May 7, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
