Anyone have a suggestion for a GOOD tire monitoring system. Too many to choose from so I'm turning to the ROG for help. Thanks for any help Steve

I use TireTraker TT 500 that I purchased at the rally last year for about $250. Saved me from a blow out last September. I believe it has a lifetime warranty and the pressure sensors are very small compared to some others. Quite pleased with it but the receiver/display cannot be calibrated.

We use the Tire Minder and have been very happy with it. We had a couple of them that were not working. Called and talked to someone. They had 2 replacements sent to us within days (in fact sent an extra).

I gave my Tireminder to my daughter for her 5th wheel - first trip out she started loosing pressure in one of the G614 tires, down to 50. We had to air it because no place to get it fixed where we were going. Consistently lost air if she drove over 60, stopped if she was going less than 60, and never lost a pound in the campground.

It dawned on me what somebody posted on the forum and told her to check the tire valve. Sure enough her metal stem loosened and the weight of the tireminder was enough to make it lose air over 60 mph.

A save in the end, even though the tireminder contributed to the problem.

Same as Danny and Linda, been using TST507 since 2011. Have saved our bacon twice, I like the customer replaceable batteries in the sensors. Don't think it matters so much what system you choose, but the first time they alert you to a pending disaster you'll be glad you have them.
