Father's Day Gift Ideas: Tire Pressure "Alert"

car-2.jpg

This gift is somewhat of a "sign of the times" one that is a bit more important than normal. With the explosion in gas prices and the world thinking green all the way around, any change to save money on the automotive front is welcome. Thus we have this little gadget called the "LED Tire Alert Pressure Indicators" where you can buy a set of 4 for just under 35 bucks.

What happens is that when you set the "trigger" for a certain PSI for the tire, if it falls below a certain number, the alert--or LED red light--illuminates on the indicator and you know you have to fill 'er up. This is a good item not only because the more you keep your tires at the proper inflation the better your gas mileage is, but it can also be a great detector when you have one of those slow leaks which can suddenly have you stranded with a flat before you know it.

Some people have complained that the indicators are bulky and a little bit of an eyesore, but to me if you want something in terms of helping out your wallet, vanity is not something to be worried about. While the price tag may seem a bit steep up front, just consider how much you'll be saving your pops when you get him this for Father's Day.
