This looks like an interesting feature to increase brand loyalty.

Wonder if the sensors are more accurate than current valve TPMS? Though the app looks interesting. The kit is a tad bit expensive.

I bet they get a lot of free statistics from who ever uses it.

Hopefully they'll use the real word information to improve the tires. Maybe they should start adding the connectors to street tires.

Yea, I hope they link it to a game. Like every tire rotation gives you vbucks in fortnite. Or every rotation is a click in a cookie clicker game. Or gives you stuff in Pokemon Go. This would encourage ppl to drive more, wear out their tires, and then buy more Michelin tires. Would have to find a way to make sure the sensor hardware will only read from Michelin tires, and not off-brand tires. To keep people only buying Michelins...

This is exactly why no one will hire me as a developer lol.
