What TPMS?
What systems do you all recommend? Thanks!

I for one, don't mind discussing the same topic more than once. I do it all the time in real life. :D
It's interesting seeing this topic here right now, as just TODAY my TST 507 proved it's worth.
I've had the system for maybe a year or so, with no problems. So today I'm on my way home from a few days of camping with the family when the alarm goes off - I look down and see a tire indicating 60 PSI (normal is 80). I see it rapidly dropping 58, 56, and keeps going. The indicator shows it's the driver's side inboard wheel on my dually, so I'm not worried about making an emergency stop on the side of the road. I knew of a good BBQ joint with a huge parking lot just a mile or so ahead, so I just pulled in there and changed it out, than had some great BBQ. A little good luck with my bad luck, I can't complain at all!!
The last time I had an inboard dually wheel go flat, I had no idea - no TPMS at that time - I arrived at the campground and discovered a very shredded tire. This time all I have to do is get a nail removed.
So, totally worth the expense in my book. A big benefit is just the peace of mind...knowing if I have a blow out that I'll know it, and not wondering about every noise I hear and constantly checking in rear view for flying bits of rubber. Just makes for a nicer trip.
