Ultraseal tyre valve indicators

[VonRyan]

In this months caravan magazine a write up has been done on tyre pressures and torquing up the wheel bolts. I always check both prior to any journey but in the artical there is a product called the ultraseal tyre monitor which are specific to certain pressures and just screw on top of the valve. The mag gives a E mail address of ultrasealuk.biz which is not in use and a premium call number. Has any one tried these caps and where did you get them from.

Thanks Rob

I know of several people who have bought these for use on motorbikes.

To be blunt they are crap.

In some cases they where almost 20 psi out.

My advice: spend your cash on a decent tyre pressure gauge.

I tried these on a car and motorcyle and found them to be rubbish.

Gave no indication of a loss of tyre pressure despite being 5psi down.

Serves me right for not checking with my pressure gauge.

I certainly wont be using anything other than my trusty pressure gauge in future and now always check weekly and/or before a long journey.

Thanks for the advice,

I will stick with the digital tyre pressure gauge and keep my brass in pocket.

Thanks Rob

I've heard that they can cause problems with the valves and cause pressure loss even flat tyres
