Tire Pressure Monitors, worth it?
Anyone use tire pressure monitors? If so, did you like them? Do they work? Which brands did you like or not like if you use them? Thanks

I would not go without a TPMS.
But a TPMS may not warn you in time to prevent significant damage due to a tire separation.
I have a small utility trailer with the spare mounted inside the trailer. If the trailer is loaded it is difficult test the tire pressure. So I have a TPMS sensor on my spare. While the trailer was in storage I would about every two weeks fire up the TPMS monitor and check the tire pressures. They have always been good.
A couple days ago I had the back door on the utility trailer open and I found this on the spare. Note the TPMS showed the tire was at the 50 psi as all the other times I checked the pressures.
Here is what I found.
