TPMS
I need some info about TPMS.What is better the flow thru sensors or the sensors you have to remove to add air to your tires?What brand is better than others?Thanks!
Forum Discussion
I do think it is a good discussion and I will add that the TST company makes both valve stem sensors and internal sensors so they would definitely have information should a potential customer have questions.
As far as comparing IR Gun to the monitor readings there are industry standard acceptable ranges. The same thing holds true for air gauges. You can use an inexpensive one up to professional model and have several pounds of difference. Again, that is a variable that is in an acceptable range. The sensors "job" whether internal or external is to warn you of impending problems, not match an air gauge.
If a potential customer is not happy with external sensors, internal ones are available and vise versa but just how much information does one need to make an informed decision? If I had questions or concerns about a system, I would contact the company to get more precise information than what you might get from a forum as we are all giving our opinions but we don't make the product.

Hmm, a company that doesn't make the stem sensors claims the stem sensors are unreliable. Who'd a thunk.
Show me any statement by any stem monitor manufacturer that makes any claim like Valor. Also, misleading advertising is against the law.
Sheesh,
I have the TST system and am not changing.
You have the other system and are not changing.
You nor anyone else has shown proof that either is better or worse.
How about leaving that dead horse alone, nothing left but bones anyway....
I also have the TST monitor and are not changing, but I think this discussion is pertinent for those who are trying to decide which type of TPMS to get. When I purchased my unit, I did not consider temperature because I have always used my IR temperature gun to monitor the tires and hubs. If I was relying only on the TPMS device, I don't think I would get a stem mounted device. Especially after I got one and found that it and my IR gun never agree and the TST is most unreliable for temperature. However, it does well for pressure if you have the range extender.
