  1. I'll probably get some flack for this one. But......I purchased some
    of those "tireflys" http://www.tireflys.com/

    I bought them as I was looking for some sort of light that would make
    it easier for cars to see me from the side at night. After connecting
    them to the valve stem, I realized that they seemed to need a hard
    curb hit to operate. I went to the web site to find information on
    them.There are adjustments listede for them. I did follow those
    directions and....these lights, which started with three colors, began
    to flash only one. And that was sporadic at best.

    I did email the company twice in three weeks. As of this writing I
    have heard nothing in regards to any suggestions as to what to do to
    make adjustments.

    I would definitely not suggest this product to anyone else as it seems
    to be too much of a pain in the butt to try and get to work correctly.

    Anyone else have a similar experience with this or any other product
    that they wouldn't purchase again????

    Other than e-mailing the company, my experience has been similar to
    yours.

    When they are working properly they are great but when I have to
    search out potholes and manhole covers, just to keep them lit, it just
    isn't worth it.

    No Kidding. Just not worth the effort. I tried to reset the spring
    and contact points as per THEIR instructions. Then the silly would
    run while sitting still in my living room. I STILL have not heard
    anything back from the company. Too bad as I am sure that this would
    be a decent addition. But if they are not willing to work with the
    general public on how to update it then...........I have no choice to
    put them on the DON'T BUY FROM THEM list.
