      RRP is often bs and advertising it contravenes consumer law in many cases.

      From the ACCC website:

      What are misleading prices?
      Misleading prices may include:

      - a ‘before’, ‘was’ or ‘strike through’ price that is not the price those items were sold for in a reasonable period immediately before the sale period started
      - a ‘before’, ‘was’ or ‘strike through’ price where only a limited proportion of sales were at the higher price in a reasonable period immediately before the sale period started
      - a comparison between ‘cost/wholesale’ and ‘sale’ prices if the ‘cost/wholesale’ price is greater than what the business paid for the products
      - a price comparison with a competitor’s price for identical goods, but the stated price is taken from a different market or geographical location
      - ‘savings’ or ‘discount’ statements when compared to the recommended retail price (RRP), but the goods have never been sold at the RRP or the RRP does not reflect a current market price

        Yes agreed, which is why I wanted to make it clear that while this may be a discounted price, $97 looks to be a more realistic price to base that discount.

  • georgev on 26/07/2019 - 10:15

    from the youtube videos I understand we need keep a special tool (supplied by manufacture) in car to unscrew the sensor to fill up air all the time.

    • Wilburre on 26/07/2019 - 10:19

      yes and no, the sensors usually just thread on to the stems. the tool is just a little thin metal wrench to hold the lock nuts they supply with it to stop the sensors getting stolen - you can choose whether to use the lock nuts or not

  • gamemaster on 26/07/2019 - 10:23

    What’s the accuracy of the pressure readings?

    • nico8amy on 26/07/2019 - 10:39

      Not very accurate and compromises safety.

      • SnoozeAndLose on 26/07/2019 - 12:02

        Why it compromise safety?

        • nico8amy on 26/07/2019 - 12:26

          It modifies OEM tire cap thing.

          • SnoozeAndLose on 26/07/2019 - 12:29

            @nico8amy: It won't compromise safety if it is not leaking.

            So everything you put on the car(non standard assessors) all compromise safety then

              @SnoozeAndLose: If I put an aftermarket stereo it will compromise safety because battery and wire and stuff. If I put an aftermarket battery operated valve Cap instead of OEM supplied cap, and you trust it to monitor your tire pressure or alert you of puncture, yes, it compromises safety. I doubt your insurance company will care you "it wasn't leaking" excuse. But I also doubt you have car insurance at all cause you like cheap aftermarkets so much.

              You were just looking for argument and not asking me opinion. Im happy to see you modifies everything on your car with cheap aftermarkets and think it does not affect your or your family's safety when it's not leaking (like leaking what? Air?). Really would love to see that happen.

                I am looking for something that can compromise safety in specify area not a statement in general in you first comment.

                Everyone know about risk for adding extra stuff on their car.

                  It modifies OEM tire cap thing.

                  And then you said "it wasn't leaking." So you just wanted an non-sense argument.

              • nico8amy on 26/07/2019 - 12:45

                @nico8amy: And someone needs to learn what does "compromise" mean.

            @nico8amy: Please explain how this affects safety. I am considering buying this and would appreciate a more in depth explanation.

            • nico8amy on 26/07/2019 - 15:16

              @eediot: Google "compromise" and then Google "OEM vs aftermarket".

    How heavy are the sensors?

    Wouldn't you throw out your wheel balance if you fitted these?

    • Marketingstrathfieldbrookvale @ Strathfield Brookvale on 26/07/2019 - 10:31

      Hi There,

      The sensors are extremely light, not much heavier than the standard valve cap.

    • edrift on 26/07/2019 - 21:07

      Yes you would. Wheel weights are quite light too so the OPs logic doesn't hold true.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/07/2019 - 21:24

        Nonsense. A bag full of these sensors wouldn't weigh as much as the smallest balancing weight. They have no effect on wheel balance.

  • kei on 26/07/2019 - 10:39

    Can these be linked to a phone app instead of having the cigarette plug display?

    • lomie on 26/07/2019 - 10:46
      +1

      With TPMS, I prefer it to be a standalone display. In the event of a low pressure and you forgot to link it to your phone, it could lead to an expensive rim replacement if you didn't realise and continued driving while the tyre is totally flat, or in high speed circumstances, it could lead to tyre blowout.

      • Cheapo Moose on 26/07/2019 - 11:09
        +1

        You need a tyre pressure monitoring system to tell you you're driving on a totally flat tyre?

        • lomie on 26/07/2019 - 11:12
          +1

          A TPMS tells you when you have had a puncture, well before the tyre is completely flat.

          • Cheapo Moose on 26/07/2019 - 11:18

            @lomie: I've had punctures before. I realised pretty quickly without the need for a TPMS.

            I have no problem with integrated TPMS. I question the accuracy and reliability of cheap ones that replace valve caps and use, what I assume to be, button batteries.

              @Cheapo Moose: Have never had them on my vehicles but they're pretty common in 4WD and caravan circles Spotty. Can't say I've heard of this brand. Generally speaking, from discussions and what I've read, you get what you pay for as far as accuracy, reliability, etc go.

              Obviously you can "Save fuel and reduce emissions" and "Reduce wear & extend tyre life" by checking your tyre pressures regularly. The skeptic in me also says that you'll do more for emissions and energy conservation (if that's critically important to you) by not buying these things and hence not contributing to the fuel and emissions involved in making and transporting them.

      • kei on 26/07/2019 - 11:13

        Just asking as I have used up all my cigarette lighter in the car for dashcams and battery backups. If I have an android head unit, wouldn't it be better if theres an app that can link to the TPMS and display as a widget on screen.

    Or just pull over to the tyre pump each time you fill up petrol?

    • [Deactivated] on 26/07/2019 - 11:06

      Or just pull over to the tyre pump each time you fill up petrol?

      While driving, tyres worm up which leads to an increase in pressure. This is the reason why you should measure tyre pressure only when your tyres are cold, or at least one hour after you have finished driving.

      • iMagoo on 26/07/2019 - 11:09

        Sounds like needless fear-mongering to me. Car would be stationary for at least 10 minutes at the bowser, put an extra PSI in there to account for this "warm-up" (which is just the temperature of the tyres reaching operating temperature anyway).

        • RangaWal on 26/07/2019 - 11:14

          Monitoring can help identify catastrophic low pressures that can occur whilst in motion. This can help avoid tyre damage and accidents.

            @RangaWal: Pffft….. catastrophic low pressures….. What? You need a sensor for that?

            Do you need a collision sensor to identify you've hit something?

              @Cheapo Moose: I've been driving on Pacific Hwy with a stone about size of your thumb in my tire. It was in my rear tire, I was fully loaded and did not realize it was sitting at about 10psi, guessing for some time. Another driver has warned me about it, otherwise I would have not found out until I stopped somewhere.

              TPMS is exactly for this.

              • eediot on 26/07/2019 - 15:10

                @LukeOz83: Yep, would be useful for slow leaks where tiny nail/screw is lodged in there but still holding air.

              +1

              @Cheapo Moose: Try driving across the Simpson desert, with only 1 or 2 spares, where catching a leak early can make the difference between as shredding a tyre, breaking your vehicle or worse, or knowing to pull over and changing before that happens.

              • Cheapo Moose on 26/07/2019 - 19:19

                @RangaWal: Sure, it has a use in those scenarios, but we're talking about everyday use here.

                If someone is driving down the highway at 100km/h and doesn't notice a flat tyre, perhaps there's more appropriate ways for them to travel.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/07/2019 - 11:47

          OEM recommendations are usually for cold tyres. If checking when the tyres are hot you probably need to add ~4+psi. Eg 28psi cold = 32psi hot approx. Depends on tyre and vehicle type, size etc though.

          Anyone concerned can simply check their tyre pressure when cold and hot and boost their pressures when inflating tyres during a trip.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/07/2019 - 11:12

      It's not really useful for day to day stuff.

      I have them on the hobby cars so I know when to pull into pit and have a coffee break. Overheated tires = faster wear and risk of pop.

      Having said that, my brakes would sooner fade than my tires pop.
