Hi Guys

Just wondering whether anyone here has heard of them or uses them on their bike or car, I have just bought a real nice set of BMW E90 Sports mags 18" for my car and was thinking of getting them installed to keep pressure right and some for the bikes as well. But thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has had dealings with them, link below if you haven't read about them.

Will await your replies [thumbsup]

That's a nifty little idea.  I'd probably use them on my car but I think I'd rather still check my bike manually.  And I run different pressures in my bike tyres depending on how loaded up my bike is.

Yeah that's true Heatherp! never thought of that cause you can't run different pressures in them, you have to buy different ones mmmmmmmmmm food for thought  [bacon] ooops I mentioned food!!! read and saw WSBK.

Rather have my good Michilin tyre gauge and do it myself. [thumbsup]

Part of the checking procedure is having a squiz at the tyre itself for damage, cracking and uneven tread wear as well as maybe rim damage. :o

No substitute for getting a little dirty and manually checking your equipment.  ;D

If I am correct they work by :
once screwed in , permanently depressing the internal valve button  to activate the  colour coded gauge  .
That would leave the O ring  to keep the air in the tyre !!
I would not like to leave my life in the hands of said O ring .

Situation: Heather pulls into service station....puts air into tyres without checking levels and says to service station attendant (who's been in the country 2 weeks): I'm having a fat day!
