Is this a good idea to have a Tire Pressure Monitor System?
What do yo think?
Never had one but would be .....a waste of money?

I wouldn't waste my money on it. A cheapo tire guage every once in a while seems like it would do just as good and cost much less.

Opportunity cost...there's gotta be something more worthwhile you can put in your car for $220. Sway bars maybe?

I'm only curious, becasue I don't know shit about balancing wheels, but wouldn't you need to off-set that weight on the other side of the wheel? Talk about taping some lead on.

It also looks like a royal PITA to install as well.
