Re Tyron vs Pressure Pro
After I had a front wheel blowout I invested in Pressure Pro, and it has been a mostly positive experience (I still have one sensor position that won't work, though PP has been very helpful).
But, I don't believe it will save me from all blowouts, only those that are due to running a tire underinflated. I'm not sure of the numbers, but many blowouts are due to belt damage caused by hitting potholes or debris at speed, which was what happened to us. We hit a huge pothole at speed in heavy traffic on the I-95, and the tire blew out about four hours later. I did notice a slight tremor in the steering when I took over driving, but wasn't savvy enough to stop and check it. I thought we had just knocked the alignment out a bit. When the tire was examined later, the damage was easily seen from the inside.
I suppose that the tire in question might have overheated and had HIGHER pressure than normal, but the high pressure alarm on PP is (I think) 30% above the set value (it's not in the manual, but I think someone said that on this forum), so might not alarm.
So I'm not counting on PP to save me from ALL blowouts. The video mentioned above is really excellent, and I have watched it several times. It's either on the Michelin or Goodyear site. I did ok last time by not braking until we were under control, and I'm hoping I will have the sense to accelerate next time, but it is so counter-intuitive I may not do it as a first response. I have told my brain to do it but it doesn't always do what I tell it.
