Tire monitor system question
Looking at getting the TST system and know they recommend metal valve stems but wondering how many have not changed to metal stems and any problems using the ones that came on there. It came with nit...

We've used our TST TPMS monitors on the rubber valve stems of our TT, our Exploder and our Honda Civic Hybrid. No problems.
The only trouble we had was at first when we used them on the metal valve stems of our MH. Go figure.
Keep a good eye on your rubber stems. I've got the TST 507 system and the rubber stems would flex so much the sensors hit the wheels as I noted in my post above. Check for these marks on your wheels. Some might use them forever with rubber stems but one of mine cracked and that was enough for me.
Thanks for the head up on that. I just went out and checked the tires on the truck. No marks. I'll check the Honda if/when we get back to Virginia. We interchange the same monitors between the truck, car and TT.
If the stem cracks, the TPMS monitor should let me know I'm losing air pressure.
