TPMS for towed. Watch out.

I recently added flow through sensors on my CR-V so I don't take a chance that I could get a flat and not know.

First lesson I learned was not to go through an automatic car wash with them installed. I exited the wash, miacuiously, with only one flat tire. Could have been four. Ended up breaking the Honda stem a requiring me to have to replace the Honda TPMS sensor. Probably would have been OK except for a solid goide that moves in prior to the tire washer. Each sensor has a small set screw which makes them, not so easy, to install and remove. Guess I'll leave them off until we go on a longer trip.

Just a tip from someone who learned the hard way. It would be nice if you could get a Honda receiver that would work in the coach with the OEM sensors.

Much thanks. I left the locks off mine. Pain to take them off to top off the tires. Now I have another good reason..
