I was perusing ebay and saw some different tire pressure sensors for different model toyotas such as camry, tundra's, etc. Does anyone know anything about these or how they work? I'd be interested to see if they could be modified or used in our cars, possibly to be wired to a signal light? just a thought.

I've heard nitrogen doesn't make any difference at all, except that since the molecules are bigger, leaks are slower. I don't have any experience, so that is secondhand information. Anyone on here have any personal experience with it?
EDIT: Sorry for the off-topic threadjack! If you installed a TPMS on your car, you'd also have to get a light for it, either in your gauge cluster or somewhere else in the car, and that's going to be a major PITA and a lot more money than it's worth. The idea seems cool, but the practicality of a TPMS on our cars.. Not worth it.
