Tire Pressure Monitors, worth it?

[Inthecountry]

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

I take it that this is the one?

I should also say this is for a living quarters horse trailer and that I don't go further than 2- 2 1/2 hours away at any time and I only travel on regular hwy's or back roads to get where I want to go. And to be honest, my most traveled place is under an hour from me. I have four tires on the trailer.

I'm not sure it's needed as much as those of you who are traveling across America?

I know that blow outs can happen anywhere.

The unit suggested was about $100 more than I thought it would be so have to take a deep breath and think is my kind of traveling worth it?

Tires don't just go flat when you are stopped where you can check them. They pick up their nails, screws, and other road debris while you are driving. And if that happens while you are in the middle of a long drive, you will likely get tire damage, or a shattered tire and trailer damage, due to it going flat while you are blissfully driving along.

another vote for the TST set-up. There are others as well but they really are cheap insurance (one time payment) for limiting damage and/or an accident.

For previous posts, including mine, search this Forum for `TPMS' or Pressure Pro.

They pay for themselves if they prevent just one blowout. Mine went off when two tires separated (Stock tires on 5th wheel and only 6 months old) and rubbed on to each other. Pressure was fine when we left the day before. TST alarm went off and allowed me to get off freeway before the tires blew and defintately would have damaged the fenders and underside of the RV. YES, they are worth every penny!

No, I don't use them. I just check my tire pressure before I leave on a trip.
