Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Anyone have?

Was thinking of getting wireless tire pressure monitoring. These just screw onto your valve stems, super easy to do. Anyone have something like this? Reviews are good.



Amazon Amazon


This fits inside Toyota switch blank

this one supposedly fits inside the blank switch area also.

https://my-fobo.com/Product/FOBOTIRE - This one is wireless and connects to your smartphone

also, if you need a good tire digital gauge for your compressor, this works nice and is only $25

Like many hi-tech things, I'm sure they work really well; right up til the minute that they don't.

Whadda you need this junk for, what real world purpose does it serve??

Much better to do an occasional visual safety inspection of your tires and check pressure with a regular gauge.

I know that I could find something better to spend my money on.

I just thought it was neat since we live in a world where every newer car has tire pressure monitoring standard now these days.
