Tire pressure minders
they cost $10.00 for a set of 4 @ Autozone.
i pressure my tires 33 all around & use a 36 psi tire minders.
reasoning: when presure drops 4 psi below the rated minder value the minder changes color to yellow, and red 10 psi below. this will alert me at 32 psi (and red @ 26 psi - not recommended to wait that long)

The tire minder thing is a good idea, but does it look okay hanging out that far off your tire?

i just have to trust the manufacturer on this - just like the pressure gauges you buy.

How to check the accuracy
I would think if you use a tire pressure gauge to check it at different colors illumination you could get a ball park accuracy.
If the pressure read from the tire gauge is the same as the trigger values (for the 36, trigger at <32 and <26) then you could say its accurate.

If you are going to do that you might as well check the pressure with a gauge.Any concern that the extra weight will cause pressure on the valve stem? How noticable are they, I was thinking about getting some because I am lazy.
