Does anyone use an aftermarket Tire pressure system?

I am in the market for this insurance..and since my last trip to Texas had me with not one, but two tire failures, I figure for safety concerns, it's time to bite the bullet. I'm really not wanting a brand war as to keep it a clean post but as to... do you have one, do you like what you have, does it do the job and is it worth it??
  • I'm pretty happy with the EEZTire - works great on my 6 wheel E-450 chassis Class C. I got an extra sensor to keep an eye on the spare. It supports up to 26 sensors, so should work with any RV plus you can monitor a towed vehicle. They sell a repeater, but I didn't need one, it works reliably without one.


    I've heard good things about the TireMinder as well.
  • A lot of us in "Towing World" do. My 2012 F350 DRW didn't come with one, so I use a TireMinder A1A with 10 sensors for the truck and the fifth wheel (it will monitor up to 22 tire positions if I wanted to put sensors on both spares). Before I started using Sailun load range G tires on the trailer, the TPMS saved my butt a couple of times.

  • I bought a Tire Minder because I got a discount from a Youtuber and like it, but I don't have any other experience. It works well.
  • I hear you. After a blowout on our last truck I bought a cheapie off Amazon;

    Vesafe Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). This thing worked great!
    The ability to monitor psi brings great peace of mind. Especially after having a failure.

    The new truck has factory TPMS so I put this on our Son’s car. Money well spent.
  • I would like to know as well. I had a couple of different kinds years ago and they didn't work very well. You had to install them in some kind of order and stuff like that. I probably still have them out in the barn.
