Most reliable tire monitoring system, pressure
« on: April 20, 2013, 05:28:33 AM »
I want to monitor wirelessly 6 tires on coach and 4 on toad.  What's the best system to do that for a reasonable cost?

In doing some research tonight I see that Tweetys.com has free shipping and no sales tax on the TST system described as 507RV and the sensors are flow through so you can air up the tires without removing the sensor.  Also, you can change the batteries yourself.  For a 10 tire system the price is slightly under $500.  This system includes a suction cup mount for the monitor.

Does anyone have the flow through sensors in use without any problems?

What is the likelihood that a passing or nearby parked RV or truck will mess up the monitoring ---- i.e., you pick up their tire sensors of TST brand?  Or does each sensor have a distinctive code?

I have the wireless flow thru from TireSafeGuard, for 10 wheels, and I've had no problems.It is so nice not to have to remove to adjust air.  I also have filled my tires with nitrogen.  Never any problem in or around truck stops either.
Might want to check them out also before deciding.

Each sensor has a unique digital code.  The chances of two sensors having the same code are extremely small and the range is so short that you'd have to be parked next to one another.

I have been running the TSG system for 3 years, I think when its working the system does a good job, I run both styles of sensors and now will update the sensors to the new style with replaceable batteries.
The one negative I have with TSG is the service from Deion he has many time told me he would send replacement sensors but I have to call him 3-4 time to get it done its been a real pain dealing with him in my opinion he's a flake.
The system is better now with the new sensors with the replacement battery so far I don't have a flow through sensor with this feature but I know they are now available.

I use the TPMS from www.tiretraker.com (yes..without the C in tracker). Had it on two different coaches for 3 years without issue.

In case you think you see the same thing on other websites while doing research, you should know the same product is marketed by others under different names.

I have been using the system from Pressure Pro.  They were the first or one of the first systems available.  I can monitor all my tires and do not need any amplifier at all.  The company is consumer friendly and very helpful.

I have the same problem with Deion as Jerry Carr.  However, the system works well, I will continue to use!

I agree with Jerry Pattison the system works very well, I have been upgrading to the new monitors(with replacement battery) so far I like them a lot! I again will just mention that Deion is not good with follow up but he is willing to extend a great price to up grade the older sensors $25 per unit

Richard:
I've had the Smart Tire system on our coach and two tow vehicles for over five years and very pleased with the reporting. The system announced a 3 psi drop in a new tire on the coach and I discovered we picked up a bold through the tread after we exited the interstate and located a tire repair facility while monitoring the tire pressure real time.  The new sensors have replaceable batteries needed after 7 years on the coach and 5 on the tow.  Bendix acquired Smart Tire and no longer advertises them for tow vehicles but Paul Kintigh at Les Schwab in Junction City, OR can help.
Regards,
Tom
