Yes - the TST models display temp and air pressure. The monitor will constantly cycle thru however many tires/sensors you have, displaying temp and tire pressure for each for several seconds before cycling to the next tire. You can set thresholds (min/max) for alarms. I've set my min PSI alarm to 45 PSI.

IMHO the convenience of not having to manually check air pressure on all of the tires (including crawling under to check the spare) frequently is worth the price. I turn on the monitor, give it a few seconds to get the signal and know if I'm good to go. I'll still visually inspect the tires at stops, but don't have to get out the pressure guage.

On the road I can watch the temp/air pressure and see if one side is running hotter than the other. On the Las Vegas leg of our trip our tire temp reach 109 and the PSI reach 59 (was inflated cold at 50).
