Just found this system for sale in the UK, it comes with 4 wireless sensors, 4 alloy valves, the main unit and power adaptor.

They say to contact them if delivery is to be outside of the UK.

I don't see any details on this. Is it possible to set the alert pressure? And does installation promote slow tire leakdowns like a previous products I tried?

It would be pretty useless if you can't set the alert pressure to something useful for folks who run pressures over 30 psi...

On the link in the first post I'm seeing an ad for adult movies, just in case someone clicks on it. The ones after that seem fine.

A few years back I bought some tire pressure valve caps from Napa Auto parts that changed color when the pressure dropped by more then 4psi, they looked alot like these and measure PSI of 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115 and 120

The ones I had were of another brand but I never had issues with them, they were 50PSI and warned me a number of times of slow leaks that I then repaired.
