I dont know where those sensors are located or how they connect from a
rotating tire to a wire???? I never had a car with them, and hope not to
ever have one. Just sounds like more worthless **** to cause problems.


They can be quite handy to have. Tires, especially low profile don't
always tell you the actual pressure from appearance and I don't know
anyone that checks with a gauge every day. I had one go off on my
last car so I added some air. Next day, the tire did not look low,
but it was. The light tipped my off.


Yeah, that's something else I noticed about the low-profile tires. I
really don't like them at all. Any opinions as to why manufactures
switched to them? I'm guessing they are cheaper.
