I do have a question about TPMS for the forum. It seems like all the ones I find are mounted on the valve stem. Some even do both pressure and temperature.

Does anyone know of a good TPMS that works with a trailer having the sensors mounted inside on the wheel?

I don't think the sensors are "cooling in the wind". I think the tires are. I noticed 2 weeks ago on a trip that the tires were running abt 104 deg, 2-3 deg hotter on the sun side. I stopped for fuel and the tire temp jumped about 10 deg on all 4 in a short time and then went back down when rolling again. Ambient temp was in the high 90's. The pressure didn't change much???
