Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Question

I try to be proactive about keeping my tires inflated properly, but I'd be much better at it if I had a dash readout of the pressure in all four tires. Will the new TPMS do that, or will it just alert you if the pressure in one tire gets dangerously low?

Not sure but the tire pressure system in my infiniti warns you only if it is low.

The RL shows the pressure of each tire, and will also alert you if it is low. I guess it depends on which system it is.

Aftermarket TPMS will offer better alternative then what will be offered by most car manufacurers.

Smartire for a system with options that monitors and display tire pressure, temperature and can alert you of low pressure with setable alert point.


I can't say how good it is as I do not have one but I am looking to get this kind of unit soon.

I have the smarttire with the remote display custom mounted next to the power outlet in the center pocket. It works great. You can cycle through pressure, temp, and temperture adjusted difference in target pressure (which you setup). You can also configure warning and alert ranges.
