[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 152676, member: 1632"] Modern vehicles have tire pressure monitors that are fitted inside tubeless wheel/tire combos. The devise is then linked to the body control module (on board computer that controls everything except engine functions) of the vehicle via blue tooth. As each wheel has a monitor within it and each has a digital code to identify it to the BCM each individual wheel can be monitored in real time. If a wheel loses pressure to such an extent that it would become dangerous a warning signal is sent to the BCM which then alerts the driver to the problem, immediately if the vehicle is in motion or upon startup if the vehicle has been sitting idle. Other than added complexity, cost, and a small weight gain on motorcycles it isn't a bad thing as the front wheel is always the front wheel and the back wheel is always the back wheel. On vehicles where the wheels get rotated to minimize tire wear it must be remembered to reprogram which wheel is in which corner of the vehicle, if the system does not automatically triangulate where a particular wheel is located.
