Default tpms anyone have it?

Does anyone have a tire pressure monitoring system? I would like to put one in, they are kinda handy at times. I had one in my trans am that would show pressure and temp, I didn't install it however.
I am just unsure if it would work with my craga
r steelies.

An expensive gadget that is more of a pain than it is worth. I hate TPMS systems.

Agreed. Also heard they are required on 2008+ vehicles. Anytime I'm at a shop seems someone is having trouble with them. Even people at Walmart.

Yeah, my eyeballs, a kick, and a pressure gauge is a hell of a lot cheaper.

The TPMS light in my wife's car comes on every Fall when the weather cools off. They are a good idea for people that lack basic automotive knowledge, but they have to know what the symbol on the dash means when it's lit. My wife called me and said the witch's caldron light is on, what should she do? I told her to throw a couple eyes of a knewt and a cat tail in the trunk and she should be good.
