I don't know if the tire pressure PSI and temp screen can stay on while driving and be easy to read as the Michelin color coded system.
On track, the only thing I display on the idrive screen are tire temps and pressures. True the refresh rate is only a few times per lap, but I can only spare my attention so much during a lap anyway (traffic, difficult sections etc.). The phone always displays the lap timer.

The idrive display as someone mentioned does allow me to work with any brand of tire as long as I know their optimum pressure and temps hot.

A gimmick, and completely irrelevant as I never run Cup 2’s on track, they have got to be one of the worst performance per dollar track tire out there.
