Tire Pressure monitor

Tire Pressure monitor
I have been thinking about getting some tire pressure monitors for my Champions. More worried if I am losing pressure, and will not know since the tires have a such low profile. I checked Tireracks TPM's, but am not sure how big the display is? I want to take my Nav CD drive out and have a custom made carbon fiber panel made to accomodate some gauges, V1 remote display and possibly tire pressure monitor display.
Last question is if I get the the TPM display, will it also display pressure if I have another set of rims(track rims). Basically if I have the monitors in my 19's, could I get another set of monitors mounted in my 18" track wheels to display correctly in the dash pressure display? Thanks for any info.

I also have the SmartTire system-the remote display is pretty small (about3"X2")-I have it mounted in the tray just above the shifter (bottom of the center cluster) and it fits fine (and still has space for a cell phone or pair of sunglasses.
You can certainly have an extra set of sensors mounted on your extra wheels and the in-car unit will work with both sets. When you put the second set on, you will have to configure the display so it knows which sensor is where, but it is no big deal.

How accurate is the smart tire system. I mean anyone have it and check the pressure with a good guage and compare?? I would really like to get these if they are accurate to 1-2 psi for track events. Our tires at the track heat up from 36 to well over 50 psi and constantly having to check them!

I use both the SmartTire system and a "good" gauge (a Longacre digital) at the track, in part because the SmartTire only gives readings when the car is moving. I find it is within the same accuracy range as the guage.

It's totally DIY and works great. The sensors/transmitters are banded around the inside of the wheel before the tires are out on, the the receiver either hard wires or you can run it off the lighter. The basic Generation 2 unit is $229 and comes with a 4 color LED display that lights up when a tire gets low. Each sensor has a color coded band that goes around the valve stem. Red LED = Red banded tire is low. Or, for a very highly recommended $49 you can buy an LED readout for the unit that constantly displays pressures and temps. for all four corners real-time. The sensors cost about $45 each to replace/add to another car. We sell systems for RV's/race rigs too. Read up at:
