Tire Pressure Monitoring systems

So you can get a 4-wheel TPMS system off of amazon for like $60 bucks. But a 6-wheel system is like $200.

Can you just install two 4-wheel systems or will the units interfere with each other?

  • I can only imagine what the quality is like on a $60 TPMS system...


    It gets good reviews:

    https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Monitoring-0bar-5-0bar-0psi-73psi-Temperature/dp/B075848KTW

    36 out of 48 reviews are 5 star, 4 are 4 star, 8 are less than 4 stars.

    I just find it amazing that the 6-tire units are 4 times the cost (or more) of the 4-tire units.

    I concur. You want the darn things to work, not just be cheap.
  • These $60 systems are designed for automobiles. If you read some of the product reviews, you find that they do not work well on larger vehicles.
