Just ordered a set of these because I'm a stupidly huge fanboy of Michelin.
Anyone have any experience with this? Basically there's a sensor that goes in your tires (that measures tire temps and pressures), and a telemetry box in the car, which talks to an app on your phone (or head unit, in my case, since my head unit is an android).
In the app, you select the track from a database and enter the current weather conditions (dry/wet), as well as entering your car info (tire sizes, tire model, etc).
Once that is set up, the app monitors the tires and suggests pressure changes between each session to get to optimal (e.g. it'll say let 4 psi out of the front left, add 2 to the rear right, etc). While running, it can also monitor temperatures, with a graph (BLUE to green to red, per corner), so you can know if you're over driving or under driving your tires. Additionally it sounds an alarm in a zero pressure situation, and tracks lap times.
Anyone playing with this yet? I'm pretty excited about it, as someone who has loved every Michelin experience he's had. I look forward to only having to use the tire temp sensor probe thing to set camber, and perhaps this will even be more accurate (since tires cool down pretty quickly)!
