We have the TST-507 system with the Flow Through sensors. Have had the system for almost a year, and have put on 15,000 miles since adding the system. I'm pleased with the product and would recommend.
However, we did have a failure caused by the rubber valve stem vibrating due to the weight of the sensor. The wheels on our Chevy Dmax have a recessed hole that the tire valve stem sit down into, and the side of the valve stem rubbed against the top edge of the recessed hole.
The good news is that the sensor alerted to a slow leak. We got off of the freeway and had a tire company come out and swap out the valve stem. When we reached our destination, I had metal stems installed. We already had metal stems on the trailer tires.
I would suggest that metal stems be a part of this system install.
