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 recommend getting Nitrogen next time you get a set of 4 new tyres, make sure they put new valves incase the old ones leak.
It lasts way longer, and feels alot better as its lighter than air. -------------------- Mike W

This is the first time i've heard of this. Elaborate? -------------------- I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(

This is the first time i've heard of this. Elaborate? I was skeptical about it at first but after 20 minutes of driving it suddenly felt like I had new mags when I got onto the motorway. QUOTE Nitrogen tyre inflation
Filling your tyres with Nitrogen is a good way to get better performance and safety from your tyres. Nitrogen will leak two to three times more slowly than compressed air. Because of this stability in air pressure, Nitrogen can offer some pretty useful advantages: · Increased tyre life · Increased fuel economy. · Improved grip. · Safer all-weather performance. · No internal oxidisation through the elimination of moisture. ![]() -------------------- Mike W
