these just bolt into the tire pivot.
and cheaper than the others.
has any1 seen them, and better still, has installed them?

I prefer to see the actual tire pressure readings rather than just a warning light coming on. The readings that I get on each tire matches two different digital gauges that I have. I had the original TPMS sensors removed from each tire when I bought new tires last August. A piece of black plastic tape over the TPMS dashboard light works fine. I intended to disable the TPMS light when I was replacing the overhead map lights with red LEDs last week. But just ran out of time.
Thinking about getting one of these systems (there are quite a few when you conduct an Amazon search) for my 2006 F-150 STX 4x4 which didn't come with a TPMS system. And I've got the perfect location on the dash left of the instrument pod for this particular design below.
