Tire Pressure Monitor recommendations

sabel

Has anyone installed a TPMS on their T@B? The factory system on our Toyota has saved us on at least one trip. Looks like the system that has sensors on the valve stem caps would be very easy to install. Any recommendations out there?

Hi Sabel. Here's a discussion some folks had a couple of months ago...

Thanks
What I'm concerned about is the type of sensors to use. Don't want to remove wheels and tires. Can the valve stem cap sensors be installed on the standard rubber valve stems? Also concerned about the weight and possible damage done to the valve stems.

YMMV, but I use one of these:



Simple, never breaks, batteries never die.  I just keep tire pressure as part of my checklist when towing.

I know a TPMS is no substitute for regularly checking tire pressure. Do it religiously during a trip. But a pressure guage is difficult to use going 65 mph.

About the only time I've had a pressure drop in route at 65 is during a blowout. I won't need a TPMS to know that ;-)
