Anyone using Tire Pressure Monitors??
Just wondering if anyone is using tire pressure monitors like the TireMinders?? If so how do you like them? Are they worth the money?? Thanks

I guess I can't quite understand the need for these ... especially on at least a small Class C where the weight is such that a failed dual tire does not overload the remaining tire enough so as to immediately blow it out. :h
You could definitely feel a front tire going soft ... just like on any vehicle.
As for one of the tires in the rear dually sets going soft on a small Class C, I had one in a rear dually lose pressure and I could definitely feel it ... as the remaining tire in the dual set then became over-loaded seriously enough (but not enough to cause it to fail suddenly) such that the rear of the Class C begins to feel real "wobbly" or "squishy" and not right.
Besides .... how do you fit them onto the tire stems of the inner tire of dual sets without fist installing those special metal tire stems that are long and bent in almost a half-circle so as to come out through the rim-hole to face directly outwards?
Also how many years do they last such that they're actually working (... and you knowing that they're working) before replacement, and how often do you have to replace each of the 6 batteries in the tire sender units?
As for having them on the tires on something being towed ... that's a different story and definitely a safety addition, IMHO.
