1. A tire monitoring device configured to be mounted on a wheel and comprising:
a pressure sensor for sensing an inflation pressure of a tire on the wheel;
a wireless communication interface configured to receive data indicative of a command to indicate tire pressure, wherein the wireless communication interface is configured to communicate with at least one other tire monitoring device;
a storage storing a predetermined pressure value;
an indicator configured to provide a first indication and a second indication, wherein the first indication is different from the second indication; and
a processing system configured to operate the indicator to provide the first indication or the second indication responsive to receipt of the command to indicate tire pressure, and based at least in part on the inflation pressure and the predetermined pressure value.
