    Experience with TPMS

    Who has experienced avoiding a calamity using their TPMS? My DW monitors our fifth wheel regularly while towing. We have not experienced any issues yet but I am curious as to what is the typical tire temperature range. I know it varies with the ambient weather temperature, well lubricated...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems - TPMS

    Anyone have any experience with 4-tire pressure monitoring systems? Not necessarily brands, but type - inside sensor vs valve stem sensor? Solar powered vs 12v? Any trouble receiving data in cab from trailer tires? Prices are all over the place - $30 to $500. Yikes!

    Blew all 4 tires TireMinder TPMS FAILED.

    We were 4 miles from pulling into Apache Pier Campground and the RV felt like it went into limp mode. I lost power and headed for the safest spot to pull over. A glance into my rear camera and smoke had engulfed our smart Fortwo toad. My first reaction was omg the car must have gone into gear...

    Just curious.. How can tire temperatures be accurately measured by a stem-mounted TPMS sensor spinning in free ambient air? Inquiring minds want to know....Well, mine does anyway..How does it accurately sense temps?

    TPMS sensors rubbing wheel?

    I have the button cap sensors for my TPMS system and after a relatively short (about 400 miles) trip, I notice evidence (black marks on the wheel at each sensor location) that the sensors have been rubbing on the wheels. The valve stems have to bend considerably for this to happen. I was told...

    TPMS pressure and temp settings

    Hello all and thanks for reading! I just got a new TPMS system for my Shasta Phoenix 5er. It's a new unit and we've put maybe 1500 miles on since picking it up new from the dealer in Ca. It came with Ly 188 Constancy ST235/80R16 E with a max inflation of 80 PSI. I have TST 507 sensors and...

    TST 507 TPMS Sensor Concern ?

    I can see rub marks on my aluminum rims where my TST 507 TPMS sensor is rubbing. I am assuming the rubber valve stem is "bending over" while rotating at highway speeds and the sensor is rubbing against the rim as it was forced towards the outside area of the rim should I be concerned about the...

    TPMS...what do your numbers look like?

    Playing around with a TPMS on my hybrid based primarily on recommendations from the forum. Tried one out this last trip and things worked well I believe. Not sure what type of fluctuations I should be seeing though. I have brand new Goodyear Endurance tires, inflated to 65psi. During our...

    TPMS

    Your thoughts? Have a new Rockwood Mini-Lite 2507 yet to be taken out. Was going to put my TPMS from old trailer on new Castle Rock china bombs with rubber stems. Think this is OK? System is a Tire Minder A1A. Probably change out the rubber to Maxxis or Endurance along with metal stems but was...

    TPMS Question

    So I am considering purchasing a TPMS system for my travel setup... I was curious how others have gone about it. My truck has an internal TPMS, however, I am in the process of upgrading to E rated tires. Will the internal system do an effective job of monitoring them? I don't like the idea of...

    New Dx3 TPMS Problem

    When I traded my Isata5 for the Dx3 I kept the TST tpms and installed it on the new coach. Everything works fine EXCEPT the inner duals! They of course have valve extensions (factory installed steel) but the TST senders are not picking up any pressure. I called TST and the lady said to loosen...

    TPMS

    I know this has been discussed before, much like china bomb tires, but I cant find the thread. I'm planning a road trip this summer dragging my travel trailer from Tucson through Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Missouri and likely another state or 2. Looking for input from those who have used TPMS...

    TPMS and Valve Stems

    I recently replaced all the tires on my 2015 3010. The tech removed the extenders on the valves on the rear tires. He said he’s seen too many problems with leaking and recommended keeping them off and just removing the hub cap when needing to fill tires. So I’m thinking of getting the tst 507...

    TPMS - VS - Roadside

    Hi everyone. Need your opinion. I've got a 2014 FR3 and my budget can only handle one of theses items for this year. If you had to chose between getting a tire pressure monitoring device or a roadside assistance program, which would you chose....and why? Thanks.

    Isata TPMS Question

    I have a 2019 Isata 3 FWS. Is it possible to put a tire pressure monitoring system on these tires, or do the bright chrome wheel cover holes block the ability to put sensors on the valve stems? Additionally, the rear dual tires on the right seem to have metal stems, while those on the left...

    I am planning on installing new tires on our camper this spring and also want to install a TPMS system. Are there any downsides to buying a system with internal sensors? I plan to keep our camper for 5 to 7 years and really don't want to break the tires down tires every 2 years or so to...
