Tire pressure monitoring systems

IF the OP wants to consider a system NOT cussed & discussed already, &
IF anybody wants to consider a system NOT comparably priced... ...
Then my vote is for the system linked below.
Since we're all out on the road, & running with 'the big dogs', consider what THEY use!
I have, & I'm very happy.

Another TST 507 user..... I've had this TPMS for a little over two years and about 18,000 miles now and have never had a problem. The changeble batts lasted two years (had low batt indicators showing but still working) and I just replaced all of them myself. Very easy and it was back up and running without doing anything other than putting a new battery in each of the sensors.
The monitor is compact and easy to read and I like that it shows the temp and pressure on each tire as it cycles thru. I've learned what to expect as far as the normal increase in those as it goes down the road and even see and monitor the unexpected increase in temps on the front tires on down hill grades when using the brakes. They get 8 stars from me (1 for easch of my tires)

I have the TST510. Two of my sensors have gone bad. Have to mail them back and then they will send me new ones. Kind of a pain. Why can't they send and I send my bad ones at the same time? Oh well eventually I will switch to tiremender. I have only had for 16 months. Says batteries are good for 5 to 7 years. Yeah right. Just hope the other four don't go out the same time. But, then again if they do might be time to purchase another brand.

Interesting good/bad on the same systems.

I have had PressurePro for 3 years and zero problems.

I've had Pressure Pro system for about 8 years with great results.

I had TST510 and when the batteries started dying, I decided to switch to Tire Tracker. It is considerably less expensive than the TST, the senders are smaller and easier to install, it gives the same information, and the batteries are user-changeable. In addition, I have found the customer service to be extraordinary. JMHO

I have the TireMinder Pro system for the 6 coach tires and the 4 toad tires. I received two bad sensors but the customer service was great and they sent me two new ones without any questions. They also are very helpful if I have questions. It has alarmed once but it was because we did not have the pressure set correctly. We check the tires visually each time we stop but the system provides great peace of mind. I recommend the TireMinder from Minder research.

I purchased my PP system in 2003 with 10 sensors for my coach and toad. In '06 I purchased the tag axle coach that I still full time in and bought 2 more sensors. With the longer coach I added the up graded antenna and mounted it under the coach just behind the steer axle. In '08 it saved me from a probable blowout by warning me of low pressure caused by an on the road tire puncture.

In '10 I exchanged all sensors although they were all functional due to an up coming cross country trip. At the same time I traded in my original display unit for the latest upgrade for $100.

In '12 some of the sensors developed slow leaks and I replaced the O rings with a new design. That fixed the leaks.

Very long story not so short, over a ten year period the system has performed it's function very well. Given the cost of tires and the even greater cost of a blowout, I consider it cheap insurance. I would not start a trip without it.

I recently purchased and installed a TST 507RV TPMS. First trip of about 2,000 miles and I am very pleased with it.

Good morning. We have used Pressure Pro for about 3 years, but kept having trouble with sensors not reading. So, went to TST with Flo-Thru sensors. Like the Flo-Thru sensors, but having trouble reading some on a recent long trip. Don't know if one is any better than the other. Looking to go to RVI Brake monitors when they come out with coach sensors. Good luck!
