Tire inflation System for Truck

I put a set of Halos on my tractor before I put it in service in 2016. They weren’t cheap but worth it to me and I would replace them if I needed another set. My trailers I order with the Hendrickson tire max inflation system. The Halo won’t air up a flat like the trailer system does, but it works well at keeping tires at the proper pressure and keeping a slow leak in check until it is convenient to repair it. I still use a Tire Pressure Monitoring System to keep a closer eye on issues that do happen between pre trip and post trip tire thumping and visual inspections at every stop. It doesn’t take running a flat long to ruin a tire that could have been saved on my rig. What I find value in, you may or may not.

 

Halo has a wheel cover. I can be practical and vain at the same time.

 

Seen these today

 

Yep I have been really thinking about getting them for the new truck.

 

@Banker Quick question about the Halo's, do they equalize the pressure between the inner and outer duals or are they independent. I also run tpms but thinking about adding the halo's to the equation.

 

Which TPMS do you have?

 

Bought one on Amazon that is ok but not great. Don’t know that I would buy it again but it works. I am researching a system to replace it if anyone has had good luck with one that reads all 10 tractor positions without a repeater.

 

They are independent. If you get the Halo, when you install them use a paint pen to mark your hub or studs. Mark the inside and the outside valve stem/hose positions. This will make your future tire work go much smoother as there is very little slack in the hoses and the wheels need to go back on exactly where they came off.
