I can't help you but I did put the pressure sensing valve caps on my tires. After six months, I've verified my right rear tire has a slow leak that needs to be topped off every 6-8 weeks and the other tires are fine. For a total cost of $11, it has turned out to be one of my better buys.

BTW, the tire pressure caps must be seated firmly on the valve stem. If you don't have much of a grip, a gripping tool makes sense. They need to be on firm but not smashed down. Someone else reported getting a flat tires from slow leaks and losing one. My experience has been very positive.
