Yes, we have a military vehicle at work with that feature. An MTVR.  5 
tires work great. One tire seems to work in reverse! We have to keep 
filling it up with an air hose..

I'm not sure there is a pressure reading difference on tires as you load 
and unload them.  I can set the pressure on a tire on the tire machine 
and then it reads the same when it is installed on the vehicle and 
loaded. Same with loaded and unloaded readings on rear pick up truck tires.

Seth says his Corvette does display psi. Hey Seth, what does it read in 
a corner? Not like you are looking at the road!

Now, if there was a display for that, can you imagine how many drivers would lose their minds as the pressure went up and down with temperature, load, etc.? I am sure tire pressure rises on the outboard tires at full cornering speeds...
