TireMinder i10 TPMS

I ended up going with a TST 507 system. I really like everything about the TireMinder except the ability to set the min/max pressure to any range. While the TireMinder sets the max pressure at 25% above the base tire pressure and the min at 10% below base, the TST allows setting these pressures at any point you desire.

I feel I could have been happy with the TM, I was pleased with my previous TST system so that sounts for a lot. Thanks for all the replys.

TST will go on sale from time to time. Or, you could call them and see if they will make you a deal. They are very helpful over the phone on technical questions also.

There is a thread going on over on the Montana Owners Forum on TPMS. Its pretty informative a lot about the TST 507 ,and SOME on the TireMinder. The question asked was what TPMS would you buy. You might want to read it . Its titled " Tire Pressure Monitoring"

IMO if you ask about the TST ,you will get a lot more reviews , that has been my observation on previous threads . If ,and when I need to replace ,it will still be with the TST. Like you I like the color monitor, its easy to read, etc.

As per my OP, I am not interested in info on the TST. As I stated I'm interested only in hearing from folks about the good, the bad, and the ugly on the TireMinder.

Also, as I previously stated, I have owned a TST system for many years and have been quite satisfied with it just like the many other owners on this forum. I am very familiar with it's operations.

Sorry ,my point was the Tireminder does not seem like a popular system ,thats all I meant. There may be a reason why there is $200 difference ,just saying . Good luck with whatever you do .

Yes, I agree. I don't mind spending the extra money but just trying to find out why the TM is less popular.

The TM with 8 sensors is about $360, and the TST is $550, which is fairly significant. We know the most expensive RV product is one that doesn't work! Like everyone that uses a TPMS I really want to know when something is getting ready to go wrong. Thanks.

TST507 has saved me three times now. Had a tire with a leaky valve stem on brand new tires and it caught the slow leak so I could get it fixed before any time damage. Second and third times were nails in the tires one with a fast leak and one with a slow leak. Was on the road in Denver and the fast leak happened and I was able to pull over and change times before it hit 65 psi. I was running 80 psi in the trailer tires. Alerted us very quickly.
Saved me money from ruining a tire. Screen is very easy to read and it gives air pressure and tire temp.

Only reason I mentioned TST is , it sounds like from previous threads on other forums ,that its the most popular. Sounds like the OP likes the price better on the Tireminder .

Dryfly, I just saw that you were the OP. So I apologize for my kind of flippant answer. I thought you were commenting on my comment about the trailer not being close. After reading the website and how often it reads the sensors, my setup may be causing my issues.

To give you even more information, the display is set for semi tractor tires, meaning steer axle with two tires, front drive axle with four tires, and a rear drive axle with four tires. I have my display set up with the pickup being the outside front four tires, and the trailer being the inside dual tires for the rear. Reading the tire pressures all in one spot was my goal, but I may need to separate the pickup from the trailer to solve the loss of sensor issue. But then again, I know when my trailer is following me, so I just ignore the alarms I get when it can't get sensor readings from the trailer.

The display is VERY easy to read in the sunlight. I mount mine with the included suction cup to the bottom of my windshield, and it is in the sun most of the time I am towing. I do take it down when I am not towing so it isn't in the sun all day every day. Plastic doesn't like that.

Edited to add: Here in the comments is where I bought mine from. I don't know if the discount mentioned is still good, but I thought I would throw it out there.

No problem. I appreciate your review. I understand what you are doing and it might be causing your problem, but as you say, you know when you are pulling something.

The receiver also may just respond different to "low" pressure than "no" pressure (meaning no signal).

Will the display show both the truck and trailer at the same time, or do you have to toggle between them?
