Tire pressure monitors

[klr650goldwing]

Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth tire pressure monitoring system? We are putting new tires on soon. Seems like that would be a good time to install such a system. Only problem is that I know little about these systems. Features?

Another vote for the " TST " system !!

I would look for a system that allows you to change the batteries in the tire sending units. I had a TST system that worked very well, until the batteries started going. Replacing them required sending the senders back to the manufacturer. Instead I replaced the system with a Tire Traker system. I can change the batteries, but I have had a lot of problems with the senders cutting out, which makes the system less than worthless.

I may go back to TST, which now has a system with owner-changeable batteries. I am also considering a model that allows for adding air to the tires without removing the senders from the valve stems. Good luck with your search. As ryder said, now is a good time to change your valve stems to metal ones.

Are you looking for one that interfaces with a cell phone or tablet? Most of the systems have their own monitors and use radio frequencies. There are several: Tire Minder, TST, some others that don't immediately come to mind.

I have the TST TPMS: Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Other posters may chime in with their particular preference in TPMS's. Most now attach to the valve stems rather than inside the tire itself. Since you're getting new tires, and looking at a TPMS, now would be a good time to install all metal valve stems for the TPMS sensors.
