Some of you have probably seen me spam all the other lists with
this, but in case you didn't:

it's a little display of relative wheel speeds, which starts
going nuts if a tire starts going soft. Good for keepin' those
pressures up and balanced. I busted hard and managed to get
it in and done prior to the long run to Wisconsin, yay!

Cool Idea.

Looks like in one of the pictures the tire is worn on the edges. Was that done on purpose or was someone running low pressure.

Looks really cool, and great someone knows how to do all that.
Me, I'd probably just smoke my ECU and blow $800 :rolleyes:

The text below said tire picture explains it, more or less.
I ran into another prius owner and while chatting I happened
to notice that his front tires were basically *toast*. We
got pictures, and it was perfect to incorporate.

Doh. I guess I didn't see that last part about the tires. I must have gotten pulled away or something.
