Thanks everyone. This really gets me going. At least now I have some features to look for and ask about etc.
I just assumed that the unit on the wheel/tire was inside the tire. Thanks for the education.
TST and imagine other companies have inside wheel sensors like those of automobiles. I personally would prefer those. But, of course, that would require dismounting the tire to install them. The disadvantage to those is ease of changing a failing sensor and/or battery even though they are supposed to last as long as the tires.
I've never been a fan of the stem mounted sensors. Some say metal valve stems are required which I can understand.
I'm glad this post was started as I've thought of getting a unit, too. I'm confident in my tires being that they are very under-loaded H rated 17.5's.
