| Has anyone ever used the Cats Eye or Crossfire Pressure Equalize Valve, and if so how did they work for you. |

| Did they help in the tire wear, and extend the life of your tires? |

I got 280,000 out of my last set of drives, I don't think I extended it by much, maybe 20,000 miles or so,BUT they are easier to check and they wore out perfectly, no getting knobby or uneven wear.
I have Bridgestone drives on it now, so I'm not sure how many miles I will get out of these, I got 180,000 miles on them now, and they still look pretty good. |

The forum "glitched", and all the posts from today, and most of yesterday were lost.
If you want me to re-post the info I put in this thread, I'd be happy to. |

Cat's Eye
Crossfire
Cat's Eyes are made with rubber tubing, Crossfires are made with steel braided tubing.
Cat's Eyes will tell you if a tire is underinflated, Crossfires will tell you if a tire is underinflated or overinflated.
Crossfires can be found on eBay every once in a while for about $50 a piece. To do an entire tractor, you will have to buy 4 of them (one for each tandem)
I did find this auction on eBay for a pair of Cat's Eyes......really cheap, but they are 110 psi, not 100 psi. |

You can also get Cat's Eyes with the STEEL BRAIDED HOSE. The company I'm leased onto has them, and every one has the steel braided hoses. |

Are you sure they didn't just replace the rubber hoses? I've heard of others doing this. |
