Well built to be fair,but horrible. And boring. And I couldn't get in or out without clattering my head.
The tyres were ok though.
Never had any trouble at all with the one on my Nissan Altima. It is a bit sensitive and lights up if any corner is out by more than a few psi.

Glad I've got the system on my Focus. Lit up a few weeks ago, alerting me (eventually) to the 3-inch woodscrew stuck in the inner tread edge of a rear tyre :roll:

Do you use the Toyo Proxes? I've read somewhere that R888 and Nitto NT01 have the same compound. Despite the price difference, people say both tires have the same compound on a different carcass. Can anyone here confirm this?
