TST Tire Pressure Monitor System - Interim Update

[RV_CONUS]

Well, after reading and reading and reading, and researching, finally, decided to go with the TST TPMS, which I ordered today.


Won't get it to install until we arrive in NY next week. Then a 1k mile trip to test them out.

I sure hope they work without any headaches. One thing, it appears that the customer service with TST is outstanding. Customer service is the most important consideration for me, along with product quality. If they can be equalized, then it's a no brainer. Along with Value, hopefully it is a win, win.

There were less expensive and more expensive tpms units out there, but tst kept coming to to the surface.

Since 0'76, we have had a blow out on one TT, and 2 blowouts on a former class c. Luckily, no vehicle damage occurred on either.

We were approaching a Semi on I65, and before we caught up to him, a trailer tire blew. Not much traffic, and we ended up dodging flying tread, etc until we could get out of the way.

Tires get a lot of my attention, now I will have another MH toy and a sister for the GPS to play around with.

Good luck with it. I have really liked our Tireminder TPMS system. It came with one bad sender. Sent it back to the manufacturer and got a new one without any problems. Provides air and temp feedback and alarms if sudden loss of pressure, or if pressure drops below 10% of what I set it to.

Putting two more on the swivel wheel. The monitor works with up to 18 wheels, I think.

Did you get the flow through sensors? I did, and kind of regret it because they are so restrictive when trying to add air to the tire.

I decided against the flow through after looking closely at the wheel covers.

Did you use locktite or teflon tape when installing them?

I read on one of the forums that Dan, the owner discussed using locktite, the blue one. Not sure if it is necessary to get a good seal.

Good luck withe your tst.
