I bought a set of four, 40 psi, tire pressure sensor caps. Everyday, I see the driver side caps and at least once a week, I check the passenger side caps. One tire had a slow leak and showed 'yellow' at 36 psi.

About two weeks later, I picked up a metal screw in that tire (the 'tick tick tick' sound) and had it repaired. Since then, no leaks and all tires are showing a green, 40 psi.

I bought them on Ebay and with shipping, it was $11. BTW, I have a tire pressure gage in each car's glove compartment. They don't cost much and having your own means never having to worry about the accuracy of a borrowed meter.
