For <$200 I could see that as being handy for a club racer to use during practice or testing.

Re: SmarTire - anyone tried it?
I belive the senders in the Corvette system (similar) are like $80-90 each, this is without the reciver so $200 probably isnt a bad thing I could see it as being good for testing preasures and tires, I could see it as bad for rotating mass, you have to counterballance it on your wheel thus making it twice as heavy....

Re: SmarTire - anyone tried it?
Nice idea. Would be faster and easier then pulling out the tire gauge before the ride to check pressure. But for $200 my tires guage works just fine.
