 However, if you are into circle-track, rally, CART, INDY, or any kind of

 correctly set up a chassis. It tells much more than correct tire pressure,
 it tells you how the car is balanced, which end (or corner) of the car is
 working the tires hardest, if your tires are too soft or too hard for track
 conditions, alignment, etc. This little gizmo can tell a good chassis man
 more about the car than anything else.....

I totally agree for the normal guy its not something needed. If you race or
do anything with a vehicle in competition the tire thermometer is a good
tool to have around
