Tire Traker or Tire Safeguard?

[8ntw8tn]

I'm going to get a tire pressure monitoring system and have narrowed the choices down to Tire Traker and Tire Safeguard but leaning towards Tire Traker. Just checking to see if anyone has had any experience with Tire Safeguard systems. Thanks for any replies.

Might take a look at TireMinder. We have it and it works well.

I recommend Pressure Pro. They invented the system and provide great customer support.

I wrote an email to TST, but they seem not to monitor their email system very well,. because I have not gotten an answer for more than a week now.

The 507 has the flow-through monitors and the 510 has the standard monitor that you remove to add air.

IMO the flow-through monitors are pretty much a pain if you have to add air because they have such a restricted flow. It can take quite a while to add as little as 5 psi to a tire. I have the 507 and when I have to add air, I remove the sensors, so they serve no real purpose for me. If I had to choose, I would go with the 510 system.

The 507 system has flow-thru, non flow-thru, and internal. The batteries are owner replaceable.

The 510 system does not have owner replaceable batteries (5 year life) and is more designed for big rigs.

Call (as in "phone") them...:S

BTW - you are very patient waiting for something.... when there is no way to tell if it (the e-mail) was ever received.

Thanks for he info.
I used to work in a job, at which I had to answer some customer inquiries (in addition to my normal job), and I know that it is not always that easy to drop everything else and answer customer questions immediately!

I have a TST system. I'm not that impressed with it. If you go with TST be prepared to also buy the range extender because the monitor will be constantly losing the signal from the tire transmitters and beeping annoyingly.

40' 5er with a long bed truck and no signal loss problems....

I purchased the TST after reviewing several models online. I have had it for 4 years and it has worked flawlessly. No problems on connections between the transmitters and monitor. It will alert you when the batteries get low so that you can change them.

Look carefully at all of the brands and how they work and how they program. I suspect you will not be able to tell the difference between them.

Their customer service is even better. Ask anybody.

Don't be so sure you don't have a problem occasionally. If you lose contact with a sensor it can take up to an hour before it alerts you to the fact. So if you lose contact for 45 minutes but it reconnects, it won't alert you and you'll never know it. It can happen multiple times and you can be totally unaware of the problem, but you're unprotected when it occurs. It's about the only drawback to the TST system.
