Looking to replace my 10-sensor TPMS. The one I have now is by TST and I'd give it a mixed review. It worked well, had a 3 year warranty, and they would replace sensors when the batteries in them died, but it was still a PITA because the batteries started dying after about a year, so there was a lot of shipping back and forth. Also when they first sent me it, they sent the wrong model display unit, so I exchanged it for the correct one, and then later when the display power cord fell apart, they wouldn't replace it on the grounds that the display unit had been exchanged. Luckily I was able to rebuild the cord, but now the whole thing is out of warranty and more sensors are dying and I don't want to keep replacing them at fifty bucks a pop.
Looks like there's a bunch of different brands but they're all by small independent companies with limited info available and nothing in the way of a consumer reports type comparison. I've seen some that have a solar powered display and replaceable sensor batteries, both of which are appealing features, but everything I find so far gets disqualified either from lots of bad reviews or a weird design flaw.
Yeah I have the gauge and the thumper and the glad hand hose, but the monitor system has still come in handy when tires have deflated on the road or overheated, so I find it to be a valuable tool. What brand or model do you recommend? And why?

In 9 months I haven’t replaced any sensor batteries yet. It seems to work as advertised. I don’t have any reason that it is any better or worse than any other system. In my case it helped find an inside drive tire that went down mid day so it probably is worth having some system.
slow.rider Thanks this. -
