Remote tire sensors

Anyone using these?
http://tiresentry.com/products.htm
If I read correctly, the in-cab monitor will fit in a 2" guage pod. I am thinking of putting one on my pillar mount along with EGT and boost. I e-mailed for info and prices, but haven't heard back yet. This one only monitors pressure, and I have seen other systems that also monitor temp. The temp sensor system, however, requires removing the tire from the wheel to mount the sensor. These look like they just replace the valve stem covers. If they save damage from one blowout, not to mention wrecking the truck and trailer, they would pay for themselves really quick.

Any input or experience with either system would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
