Recommendations for a preferred TPMS System.
My main concern is your preferred Vendor for a TPMS system. My tow vehicle has the tire Pressure sensors mounted inside the rims. The sensors match my external, hand held digital tire pressure gauge...

I received our TST 507 system 2 weeks ago for our dual-axle TT, right before going on a 1500 mile excursion that we just got back from. It alerted me once when one tire hit the programmed "over 10 lbs. over maximum limit"...I had aired them up to the recommended level of 65 lbs. in lower 50's temps before leaving and wound-up driving in 85 degree temps. It also told me tire temps were in the 90's. Works for me.
BUT, and I'm planning on posting a separate thread with pictures on this after I notify the manufacturer, I have rubber valve stems and the stem-end mounted senors left little scuff marks on the outer edge of the aluminum rims, indicating they had flexed quite a bit. I'm not so concerned about the cosmetics, more so the amount of flex and wear on the stem. I'll be getting full-metal stems installed shortly.

i am pretty sure you will find that no systems out there with an external thread on transmitter will tell you that rubber valve stems are ok to use. They will specify metal stems only
