CrossFires Dual tire equalization system? Pros, cons?

[iwander_85pt40]

Jack,

My 85PT40 came equipped with them, courtesy of Wallace Craig.

They make checking tire pressure with a guage a piece of cake. Both
tire are inflated to proper pressure if you have to add air.

Pressure is equalized if you develop a slow leak in one tire, giving
you time to get repairs. If you have a sudden blowout on one tire, a
check valve prevents loss of pressure in the other tire.

The only thing I would suggest is keeping an eye on tire repair
persons to make sure the hoses and brackets are removed and replaced
properly and without damage.
