I received the Tire Minders as a gift from a friend several years ago. My first thought was "these don't seem like a good idea because they keep the tire valve depressed", so I shelved them.
About two years ago, we bought a new car that came with Tire Minders on it. And they have worked well so far, so I decided to put my "gift" to work on my vehicles' tires.
All worked well until we had summer temperatures hitting 103-106 degrees when one failed. The next day, another failed. Both Tire Minders that caused the flat did so because a small hole about the size of a pin-head appeared at the center of the clear plastic cap. The result was the release of perfectly good tire pressure.
I have removed mine from my car and recommend you take a "pass" on these. Get more detail about Tire Minder Valve Stem Tire Pressure Guages - 32PSI.
