Experiences with TPMS?

I have chosen the TST. Now it comes with a two years warranty. I hope I will not regret.

 

Oram, please keep us updated on how you like the system.

 

Hey oram how do you like the tst, I'm about to order 1 also?

 

I have used pressure pro for 6 years and finally had to replace the tire sensors because the batteries were weak,it has worked great.

 

Skip the tiresafeguard system. Batteries start failing after 12 months, only 2 out of 18 work after 2 years, and to top it off the sensors seize to the valve stems. You have to pull the wheels to get them off.

 

I did not set up yet, because two of the sensors does not fit on the valves. To figure out the problem I need to find someone to help.

 

Problem is - many of these TPMS don't report slow leaks very quickly - if at all.... plus, it can easily be up to 30 seconds to a minute before they report a blowout. By that time, you're gatored all over the highway! Check out www.driversheets.blogspot.com - I just posted a piece on TPMS...This blog is also mirrored at http://www.driversheets.com

 

It is not a perfect solution, but very helpful. My TST system works for six months now. Rarely one or other sensor loose connection, especially in rainy days, but other than that it just works fine. TST has an excellent customer service when I needed early on. The temperature reading probably not really reliable, but I think it is true for every valve on system, since it is outside of the tire. Still very useful to have information. The pressure reading seems very accurate. I would not go again without tire pressure monitoring system. From now, I consider it as a must have option. Especially with single wide tires.

 

Yeah, single-wide tires really need the extra attention - especially when a roadside fix can cost up to $1,000.
