Here's the latest addition to my Viper. Although '03 and up Vipers come with a Low Tire Pressure alert, I have bested that with this Tire Pressure Monitoring System. MY system monitors tire pressure and tire temperature. With a small LCD display I can find each tires pressure and temperature in real time. This system also flashes the screen and beeps when a tire's pressure goes below what your settings are. Traction co-efficiency depends on temperature of the tire and with this system I will have instant access to that data and can adjust my driving accordingly. Pressure and temp sensors are mounted in each tires valve stem and radio broadcast to the module mounted behind the dash which is hardwired to the dash monitor.
High Performance/Low profile tires do not change their driving characteristics like high profile tires. Usually when you get a flat tire you can't tell because these tires are low profile to save your life if you have a tire failure above 150mph. Unfortunately, althoug this safety feature will save the car from losing control as would happen with a high profile tire, it also means that the handling doesn't change when the tire pressure gets low. Driving on a low or flat tire will destroy the tier sidewall within minutes which is why I upgraded my car with this system. High profile tires do not need this system as low or flat tires cause loss of control. You track rats know the value of having temp sensors in your tires.
This site also sells a much cheaper system ($179.), however I felt it necessary to buy one with a color adjustable display and hope that the Hela name means higher quality.
