Take a look at this

http://www.flightsafety.org/ap/ap_sep93.pdf

Recommendation of the investigation team is:

Each transport aircraft be equipped with:

- wheel well fire warning (my airbus doesn't have)
- wheel well fire protection (my airbus doesn't have)
- tyre pressure indication in cockpit (my airbus doesn't have)
- brake temperature indication (my airbus has, but according MEL may be inop)


In fact many airbuses fly around knowing nothing about heat condition in wheel well.

BTW, starting 01. September 2007 all new registered cars and trucks in the US must have a tyre pressure indication.
