Fool Proof TPMS March 22, 2013, 12:58:34 pm Yahoo Message Number: 137626Here is the system I use: Hand-held digital, illuminated tire guage for around $10. Alligator valve caps on every tire including toad, about $1 each. System is accurate, cheap, no false alarms, easy to use. You can check all of your tires in about 2 minutes in an easy walk-around. I do this walk around anyway before starting out in the morning, and at each comfort stop. You should be doing a walk-around anyway, every time you stop. I usually stop at least every 2-3 hours anyway. Not likely you are going to lose enough air between checks to go flat unless you have a major puncture and you will know about that right away anyway. Spend your $600 or so on solar.
Re: Fool Proof TPMS Reply #1 – March 23, 2013, 01:05:20 am Yahoo Message Number: 137645I got my TPMS system because I discovered, by experience, that I did NOT know a tire was in trouble right away, or even at all. Even with a completely flat rear tire, I could not discern any change in handling, ride, or noise, whether at highway speed or town speed; further, a tire on the trailer can literally disintegrate and disappear, leaving the trailer riding on the steel rim, and I am unable to know that's happened until I see some sparks or very agitated people pull up beside, pointing wildly behind me. So, checking tires frequently visually is a good idea; but checking the pressure second by second while driving - in addition - is even better. It took me two flat rear tires and one flat trailer tire to learn this lesson.Eric Greenwell
