Default Does your chewing gum lose its flavour when its used to block up a hole in a tyre?

Apologies to Lonnie Donegan.

Not looked at this, but seeing as an over inflated tyre is not as grippy
as the designed inflation and also given that hot air adds pressure I have
also often wondered about the detection. Of course a couple of ideas do
come to mind. Monitor the tyres and compare them. If one is not behaving
like the rest then something is definitely not right.
The other thought is that if the car is still and one tyre is changing,
say over night, then you got a leak in that tyre. Its not so much a
pressure sensor issue, but a comparison one.

Answer. not by very much, if at all.

This seems to be a perpetual urban myth.

It tyre pressure sensors are using this, it has to be a very very
complicated bit of software to detect - say - less than 1% change in RPM
relative to the other wheels.
