Having just had a tire problem based on my never checking my tire pressure. Hey, it's a pain in the booty to get all dirty and, besides, I've got a bad back.
Well that wouldn't be a problem with the new wireless tire pressure system that Bridgestone is about to unveil. This job would place a sensor into the tire rim. That will hold some kind of radio frequency ID sensor (RFID), that would alert your dashboard if it senses that your tires are over- or under-inflated. They've even got a version for your dealer that can store info on 1080 tire readings from 90 vehicles. So now your dealer can call you if your tire pressure gets too low? Guess that's a good idea for leased vehicles.
