My friend has. Seemed a waste of time. a Cheap Halfords tyre gauge works just as well, costs less and isnt liable to get nicked

I was thinking of putting them on our car, seeing as everybody drives it and they NEVER check anything :smt018 . I went out in the car this morning, thought feels like its running on the rims, front tyres were on 21/19 Lbs rear on 25. Damn things are meant to be on 31 :smt013

But they still won't know the tyres are low cos they won't look.

Easier for you to remember to check them every so often.

I haven't driven it for the last month, otherwise they'd be checked every week.

No I'm not, but when nobody says it feels odd why should I have to do their thinking for them.
