Tire monitoring system

Regarding the tire temp question, here's a quote from the TST507 install manual.

x2 on the TST 507.

I like to be able to monitor tire pressures and temps while towing. A tire can lose air quickly if punctured while driving. So simply checking pressures and temps only when you stop will not prevent tire damage, and maybe trailer damage, if it develops a leak while you are in the middle of a long tow.

Would not be without a tire pressure monitor, and am very satisfied with TST. I've got the system with replaceable batteries - don't remember the model number. First tried a NVision, but it gave too many false alarms. Switched to TST and never a problem.

It has alerted me to a leaking valve stem and three slow leaks from nails. (Funny, I went for several years without picking up a nail and then I got three just last season.) Was able to stop before any damage to tires. Tires would have been run flat and ruined without tire monitor. Monitor system has definitely paid for itself.

We have the Pressure Pro system. We do a lot of driving at night and on one trip we had a tire go down and traveled lord knows how many miles with it beating the devil out of the camper and adjoining tire. Lots of damage to the camper. Bought the system before the next trip. On another trip, with tire monitors installed, we had a tire blow out. I knew it immediately and was able to pull over before any damage was done. I won't travel without them now.

A good tire gauge and regular use of it is all you need.
