The next big thing
Tire mounted Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems. In the bid to get more of your money tire manufacturers are wanting to mount the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in your tire.
Of course they say you always get a fresh and undamaged sensor etc. Until with my luck a big nail goes thru the sensor.
What they do not say is they can also transmit code telling the type and size of the tire, age etc and for your "safety" the vehicle can make decisions on letting you use the tire if a non-approved tire size, brand, or the age is excessive, too many revolutions etc. All of course in the interests of your safety (cough profit cough) Imagine if your tire in the middle of a long trip ride decides it is too old or to many revolutions and your vehicle will not exceed 30 MPH or go at all even though you are in a rural area
Or in a bid to improve handling you install a non-approved size or configuration. How dare you modify your vehicle to fit your needs. Suppose the only approved tires come from your dealer only.
