To me the ideal gizmo given I could tow our H2 or the pickup is one in which the toad tires with sensors are seen by the receiver so I don't have to reprogram or move sensors. I also want in my ideal gizmo a sensor that is not the only thing standing between the air pressure and the atmosphere. I have the fill-thru-cap type valve stem covers and since putting them on I haven't have to adjust tire pressures more than a pound or two regardless of how long it has been between trips. Having that double seal cures whatever small leakages may be experienced through the normal Schrader valves.

In other words the band type sensors seem to be the ideal, but the receiver needs to be programmed if we go from one toad to another.

I will not consider the sensors that screw on the valve stem. I not only lose the double seal, but I cannot leave my valve stems as they are and easily fill the tires. So until the ideal tire pressure monitoring system comes along I will check tires the old fashioned way, by hand.

The Tattle Trail in my opinion is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but I am willing to risk that it works. The last time I lost a tire on the toad I felt it pop and sensed a slight tug while going 62.5 on I-90 just east of Mentor. The tire had a huge hole in the side and I got it stopped so quickly the tire never had a chance to start to come apart or break the bead on the rim. If I am not so lucky to catch it the next time I hope the Tattle Trail does it for me.
