<VV> tire pressure gauge

[Harry Yarnell]

Cadillac and Corvette can display the tire pressure in all four wheels on
the DIC.

That would be bad on my truck. If I run the listed pressures in the back all
the 
time I would wear out my tires quickly. If I am not carrying a large load
the 80 
PSI listed causes the tire to run on the center 3" of the tire. I set my
empty 
pressure with a ruler so that the radius from the ground to center (or
common 
point on wheel) is the same front and back then I use the same pressure side
to 
side. That works out to about 55 PSI front (listed pressure) and rear when 
"empty". This is much easier on the 4wd system when engaged. It would be
nice if 
the TPMS system reported real pressures back to the central computer for
display 
and you had the ability to set the limits and range allowed on each tire or
at 
least each end.
