Thought you might find this helpful.... Looks like you need to purchase the monitoring system seperatly (must be in the fine print of the tires)

anybody know of any valve stem caps that change color when the pressure drops below a certain point? a link would be awesome.

Click me. They have many different pressure ranges for what you are looking for.

thanks, I've been hunting the web for things of that nature. I think I'm gonna go with the lame looking caps instead of the $300 pressure monitoring systems. the tires are cool, tread looks sweet and the sidewalls are BEEFY. I'm hoping the thick sidewalls also give me better cornering as an added bonus. also, I'm gonna try to rig up some sort of sub enclosure to replace my spare tire / jack
