Tire Pressure Monitors, worth it?
Anyone use tire pressure monitors? If so, did you like them? Do they work? Which brands did you like or not like if you use them? Thanks

Am I correct that I'd want to replace my rubber stems with metal before adding pressure monitoring? I was told rubber stems might not take the additional forces if the screw-on monitors.
I was thinking about this too. I don't know the answer but I would be concerned about corrosion. Combining dissimilar metals is my thought, causing corrosion. Premature wear or malfunction ?
I would think any two metals that come in contact with each other should be the same metal.
All I can find on the topic is OEM monitors where dissimilar metals can be an issue. IM not sure about after market items.

Metal stems I used have rubber gaskets at the rim, so no galvanic potential; at the sensor, threads are brass(sensor) to chrome-plated brass(valve), so minimal galvanic potential.
