Keep an easy eye on your tyre pressures

I saw this advertised on the MCN website

...'a small cut and paste from the above'...

The Auto-Unique 'Pressure Guard'

The Auto Unique Pressure Guard is a small, highly visible device that replaces your existing dust cap and monitors your tyre pressure.

It boasts a full certification from the German TUV agency, the highly regarded independent safety body, for its accuracy, sensitivity and effectiveness.

A small, tough plastic window contains two indicators, one red and one green. Any loss in pressure greater than 2 psi from when Pressure Guard is fitted means more of the warning red indicator appears in the clear cap.

They're strong and have two-built in safety features to prevent sudden air-loss should they be kicked or if you hit a kerb.

It's a simple and cost-effective way to keep your tyres and steering healthy. Suitable for both bike and car tyres *.

My only question is how do they deal with tyre pressure changes re: temperature changes. Otherwise a very good idea.

I may try some. I'll update with any other info/research I find.

Don't think they would stay long on my tyres in London streets!

Just one week ago I've bought a full set of PressureMates.

If the pressure drops 15% below the recommended value, the colour will turn. I'm not sure it temperature will have such an effect on the tyre pressure?

I think this system is much cheaper and easier to handle than the electronic ones. I'v paid 20 € for 4 pressuremates.

1st: these pressuremates do not attract attention that much, that it will catch everybodys eyes. Of course they stand out more than the normal caps, but they are not that colorful like on the pictures.

2nd: Not every pressuremate fits automatically to every car. For every pressure value, you need a different pressure mate. That even starts with your winter tyres. So perhaps you will need a second set for your winter tyres....

So I'm not sure if you will have problems keeping your pressuremates.

But at last they are not easier to remove then your Antenna! :D
