Lad's A took option on a tire P monitoring system, as named TD-1000 from tiredog.

well it works really good, and it's verygood quality, you can gauge and follow your pressure and tire heat up, and set P and T alarme and follow you're cup's on track

We made a quick test with one of y friend with 4 news cups 2 pressured with normal air and 2 with Nitrogen at 32Psi each after driving hard the 2 tires on the left side on air were gone at 35/36Psi and the 2 under nitrogen were still around 32.2 and 32.5

To have tires done with nitrogen cost a little extra, but whatever, how long or how hard your drive, your tires will stay at the same pressure and that's really perfect, you don't have to warry about pressure adjustments durin track session on long drives across UK of europ...

I recommanded it... :thumbs:

TD-1000A from Tiredog, it's the best one I managed to found, it look's good (others are uggly) it's simple, small, works with long life littium battery (7 to 10 years) and works with cigar lighter for mane unit + TMPS system and sensors

there is a video on youtube from a US dealer "vividracing" giving it a
try, but his price is way over the market price 399$ a piece!!

I pay 250$ per unit at SigmaAuto.com

yes rather similar, the only thing is that the you show has sensors on the rim, and to access to that sensor you have to remove the tire, the tiredog has the sensors on the pressure valve, and you car remove it without removing the tire and put the system on an other car in 2minutes

and the price.....ruff... :banghead:

Around my town, a local raceshop proposes the "Nitrogen blow in" (4 tires) for 12£.

seem's that it starts to be commun around here.
