tire pressure monitoring caps - any good?

[Stig / Major Tom]

I hate checking the air on my 4 scooter tires!
I've seen some tire valve caps that display, at a glance, in one fashion or another, the PSI reading in my tires.

Has anyone had good luck with these simple looking devices?
It would keep me from running under inflated tires without having to crawl around on the cold garage floor!

If you're talking TPMS then I've seen a few. Read reviews of a few more. Those work really well. IOW- yes those are good.

My AK 550 has TPMS that works really well. The psi is not shown on the valve stem or caps but on the dash. The AK has that embedded from the factory, but the TPMS that can be added to a bike aftermarket usually has a small display to clamp on the handlebars or stick someplace where it can be seen up front. Warning: don't simply put a TPMS cap on a rubber valve stem... even a straight stem. That WILL cause the stem to form cracks from stress and provide you with a rapid unexpected deflation of your tires (RUD). Metal valve stems are highly recommended. A T valve stem is best since the TPMS cap can be on the straight part and the valve on the side is then available to fill the tire as needed without messing with the TPMS cap.
