Top stuff and a long time coming why did'nt this come out years ago.
just one thing for anyone who would buy a guage. @ 28 grams it would throw your wheel balance out of whack so if you do buy 1 for each tyre it would pay not to get it fitted until you buy your next new tyres and the wheels are balanced.

What we really need ...

...is a tire gauge that automatically calculates the difference between "cold" tire pressure and 'Hot" pressure. We're told to always check the tire pressure when the tires are cold, but nowhere have I ever seen an easy way to know how much air to add by the time I get to a gas station air pump.

How long do you think these will stay on your car?

Seriously, at ~$25 a pop, how long do you think you can leave your car in a parking lot before these babies are gone? My antenna ball's track record was ~ 2 weeks and it was free from a fast food joint.
