   TIRE WATCH displays your motorcycle and scooter tyre pressure in real time on a dash display.

   TIRE
   WATCH can be retro fitted to any bike with tubeless tyres and consists
   of a front and rear tyre sensor and a dash display unit. The display
   features include-

   • LOW PRESSURE ALARM – you can set low and high pressure alarm
   • TYRE PRESSURE Front and Rear displayed constantly in PSI or BAR
   • TYRE TEMPERATURE Front and Rear displayed constantly when switched from pressure setting
   • AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
   • CLOCK
   • ICE ON ROAD WARNING-flashes warning if temperature is below 3 degrees Celsius

   TIRE WATCH is made in Europe specifically for motorcycles and has many benefits. They include-

   • SAFETY-avoid possible accident’s due to a deflating tyre
   • ECONOMY- better fuel economy and tyre mileage
   • PERFORMANCE-maximum traction and mileage for sports riders or racers
   • NO WIRES-unique radio frequency for each tyre unit and easy to install
   • ANGLED VALVES-easy to access with air chuck

   is best done when getting a new set of tyres. There are also 4 display

   batteries and sends information to the display via radio frequency.

   Well went away to Bellingen over the weekend.

   Tire watch was going to be gimmick or useful tool.

   After the weekend, I say useful tool.

   It was amazing how cold the tyres were on the cold morning.
   Cold temp in Brisvegas was 36psi front and 39psi rear at 27degrees.

   Cold
   morning in Bellinbgen at 5 degrees in the morning presssure was 33psi
   front and 36psi rear and internal air temp was 13degrees.

   By
   watching the gauge and seeing the pressure and temp come up I knew I was
   going to hard on cold tyres and backed off till they got to 3psi above
   my set pressures. What a fantastic feeling knowing that my tyres were
   right to go.

   So definately no gimmick and we were firing most of the weekend. Except the ride home with the hangover....the wifes that is.

   Oh
   and something I keep telling people as a gut feeling, I now know
   conclusively. Tyre pressure was up 3-4psi when pushing through corners.
   But between the Waterfall Way turn off and Dorrigo, we got caught behind
   a bit of traffic and with the straights coudn't push as hard. Guess
   what the tyres did. They cooled down, quite quickly and significantly.
   So just getting past some traffic and long straights the tyres weren't
   quite up to speed back in the twisty's. So the first few corners are
   critical after what I call a transport section between 2 sets of
   twisty's.

   Tire pressure is something that motorcyclists should always pay attention to. I think riders are so much more susceptible to being injured if there's a blowout. Just thinking about flying down the road at a high rate of speed and blowing out a tire makes me really nervous. I bet there are some accidents that would be avoided if tire pressure meters like this were prominent. I knew a guy who had to get in touch with an accident lawyer Los Angeles because his tire blew out while he was on a bridge. He flew off and into a creek below. Luckily, he landed in water.
