I'm a big fan of car tire pressure readings to help you keep in tune with your tire pressures - this way you get a reading every time you drive instead of whenver you get around to measuring with the manual gauge. (I like electronic oil level measures too, rather than dipsticks.)
Having said that, these systems drive me nuts because it is so hard to get 4 equal pressures on 4 wheels.
My 2008 BMW M3 read to the nearest 0.5 PSI. It was fine, but seeing tires 0.5 off was slightly annoying.
My 2012 AMG C63 read to the nearest 1.0 PSI, and it took a little time to get things balanced, but seemeed to be spot on.
My 2017 Camaro is fine, but the issue seems to be that the tires might read equal at cold temps with all 4 wheels, but then when warm, they are off by 1-2-3 PSI. If they are equal warm, then the left side seems down 1-2-3 PSI, not always equally.
I would love to see the pressures equal at cold and equal at warm.
Good news though - Costco Senter Road San Jose just installed 2 automated air pumps - you dial in the pressue, and it fills to that pressure automatically. I'm stoked for this.
