TMPS

[dale farley]

There have been many discussions about tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). I am wondering if there are any new systems on the market that are easier to install or are more reliable? I had a system on my previous bus, and the biggest problem I had was the wheel monitors would start to leak and need replacing quite often. I occasionally got false readings, but I think that is fairly common. Has anyone found a system that is very reliable and easy to install? Has anyone been using a system that has just proven to be too much trouble or unreliable? I haven't yet made up my mind as to whether I want to install another system. Since I recently installed new tires, I don't want to remove them to install an internal system.

Dale, I never used the system you had. I think the only reliable system will have sensors in the wheels.

Gil,

I had used that system for a few years, but I think the batteries were going bad, so I had just ordered the new sensors before you got the bus.

I have pressure pro and they have proven to be a very reliable accessory.

I think I paid 700 for enough sensors to do the bus and toad.

Easy to install didn't have any problems with leaking. The first sensor to fail went 6yr before needing replacement at 50 bucks a piece.

I would buy this product again but I have seen 1 better now.

They now have sensors that can be aired up thru the sensor without the necessity of taking it off and reprograming that wheel every time air pressure adjustment is needed.

This is without a doubt one of the best accessories I have ever bought. They go well with cenrtonics, wheel jewelry and Prevo

I also have another sensor called Tattle Trail it senses very slight increase in vibration very simple and works very well.

It has notified me of a sidewall separation twice (on a couple of trailers I pulled ) before tire pressures ever even began to fall off. None of the other style pressure sensors can do that.

I have the control panel for the pressure pro still if someone wants it let me know U will need to buy the sensors at 50 a piece

Dale, I have Tire Safe Guards and I like them. You can check and fill the tires without removing the sensors. A very nice feature. I think it is the only system on the market that also tells you the tire temp. I did have to purchase a repeater and pluged it into an outlet in the bedroom to transmit the information from the tow vehicle due to the length of the Bus. I have used this system for about six years.

Jim, I may have had the same ones. I know you could check the air without removing the sensors.
