Tire pressure valve cover indicators

I have them on my class C. A quick look on Amazon shows them available at 85psi and 95psi. If you can't find 90psi, go with the 85psi - it will give you an earlier warning.

I like them so much, I put them on my FoldnRoll also. Nice to be able to just take a quick look and know the pressure is good.

Had them blow out and flatten a car tire. Had to take the MOtor home over (only other vehicle at teh time) with air compressor. and then got stuck and had to call for a tow to get unstuck, Tow company sent about half enough wrecker so had to use my strong mind and his weak back to get 'er out.

Sorry, I’m not a fan and I don’t trust pressure gauges either. I use two and replace them regularly.

Not sure if those are the same brand, but we had them on our fire trucks with many failures. We tried a couple different brands with similar results. We ended up removing them. I had a set on my travel trailer, altough I did not have a failure I took them off anyway to avoid one.

This reminds me of those pass/fail battery testers for home use. I'd rather have a little more information...

A better option than those red/yellow/green tire deflators is a Pressure Pro or TST or other TPMS .. You do not need to stop to read the pressure. You can check your pressure atr 60MPH just fine (Touch a button on some glance on others) and if a tire looses too much air. BEEP BEEP BEEP even while you are driving. Way better. and unlike the fail-a-matic tri-color jobs.. never had one flatten the tire. Leak slowly yes. Alarm so I could correct yes. Flatten no.

I had several failures on truck and camper. I won't use them anymore. In fact, stores around here no longer sell them.

If you put them on too tight, the seal will break and cause air loss.

If installed correctly, they do not have issues.

If you force yourself to use the old fashioned direct read pressure gauge you will need to actually bend over and LOOK at the tire while you check the pressure. Getting in the habit of doing that will present a lot of additional critical information regarding the condition of your tires and wheels. Things like tread and side wall damage, tread separation, nails, tread wear, alignment, manufacturing date, sidewall bulges, loose/missing lug nuts/wheel covers, and a few other things I can't think of right now.

Or, during your next blowout you could ask yourself, hummmmm, why did that happen because I'm sure the pressure was fine?

I preferred the Crossfire tire gauges for my duals. You purchase these for the specific PSI that you want and then they tie both of your duals together and balance out the pressure in both. Then all it takes is a glance at the gauge to see if the pressure is OK. If one tire does get a puncture, it will not allow both to deflate. It also means you only have one valve to inflate both tires at the same time with the exact same tire pressure.
