do tow vehicles need tire pressure sensors
very new to dinghy towing, will be the very first time this spring. Do i need to invest in tire pressure sensors for the dinghy? yes no maybe so? what do you use on your dinghy?

Most newer cars already have a TPMS from the factory. No, the TPMS cannot be monitored while you are towing, but the chances of a slow leak developing and leading to a flat while towing are miniscule. If you have a catastrophic blowout and you are a perceptive driver, you should hear noise or feel vibration that makes you want to stop.
The main purpose TPMS was invented in the first place was to prevent crashes caused by underinflated tires. This has saved lives, no doubt. But no one is riding in your toad and no one will die if a tire goes flat while you are towing.
I know many feel that TPMS in a toad is a necessary thing, but in my mind after doing a cost/benefit analysis I would pass on it.
