Subject:Re: Cheap TPMS ( tire pressure monitor) quick review
From:Alistair Bell <albell@SHAW.CA>

With my tpms, no failures apart from having to charge up unit once during darkest winter, no maintenance,no distraction apart from the initial curiosity.

Nothing at all like a cell phone. That’s straw dog.

What is needed is notification when something goes wrong, and then get the data to make a decision. For the economy TPMS with screw on valve caps you are also adding another thing to maintain and another failure point.
