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 have it. Saved me a lot of money when the alarm went off and I found tire separation before any blowouts. im a believer
  • I think around the rv world, those WITHOUT tpms is the minority. The cost of one tpms system will be less than the damage one blown tire can cause, not to mention the cost of the tire. Tpms will not help you with a catastrophic blowout, say from defective tire or a road hazard, but if the tire picks up a nail and starts leaking, the tpms will notify you when the pressure gets to or lower than the pressure you have determined to be the lowest point you want to run your tires. This will provide you with more than sufficent time to pull over and save the tire from going flat and eventually coming apart in a million pieces.

    We have a Pressure Pro system for all eight tires on the mh and the four tires on the toad. It has saved me several times in the past six or seven years.

    Hope this helps

  • We have the TST TPMS System and I really like it. It gives me a peace of mind when driving that I will know before there is a problem.

    I did not buy the flow thru version as I heard that it takes the air a long time to go thru (for filling).

    They have great customer service. I lost the extra seals (wanted to replace the batteries and did not want to use the old seals) that are sent with the units and they send me new ones at no charge.

    PM me if you need anymore information.

  • I use TireTracker. Easy to set up and has easily replaceable batteries. Wouldn't tow without them as they easily pay for themselves by repairing a tire vs. replacing one. It's probably a good idea to get metal stems first time you change out the tires.
