TPMS... nothing but crap

[srt8-in-largo]

Sorry no updates; idk if any of these kits have been updated or if something new is on the market.

I'm still disappointed to see so many companies making what seem like unreliable *toys* for such a critical application. Be careful with what you buy and search for more recent reviews. I think some of the systems out there will do little more than provide a false sense of security.

Every once in a while you'll see a news story about a motorcycle fatality due to a tire blowout. I can't help but wonder how many of these were from packing the wife and a week's worth of gear on under inflated tires.

IMO, no TPMS is better than a flaky one. At least this way you're obligated to manually check your tires.

Love your research, THANK YOU for finding all this info. Question is, are there any UPDATES? I am in the market for one as a father day's gift. What have others selected?

YW btw. And I'd also love to hear from others.

Well my search started with the 7 dollar deals, to a cheap solution, to finding this thread and going crap, I have to spend some coin.

I guess there isn't anyone with a something installed who can say hey, this thing works...


Sigh

I assumed you saw this thread? I know it's still not gonna help with a Father's Day gift.

After all of my disappointing research I decided to go ahead and make my own TPMS. I have a few loose ends to button up before it's finished.

Always the supporter; thanks buddy I'm still interested to hear of any user experiences with what people are using.

No updates still. I seem to have one thing after another vying for my time. I completed some fence work and put in some new grass around the house. Last weekend was spent putting a new tire on. Now I have some stucco repair and re-arranging some walls in the laundry room

I'm slowly but surely digging myself out of the hole to be able to get back to the project...

I forgot to mention the bathroom that I completely gutted and remodeled that sucked up a couple of months.

Dang, such the handy man you are. Should I put you on my short list for my house? Nah, I'm having a new home built in Mulberry/Lakeland.

I personally hate TPMS, being in the automotive tire business. I don't need a light telling me my tire is 3lbs low (or high ) and making me wonder if I'll make it home or not. The technology is awesome and I get it, but the reality needs tweaking bad. There's just too many issues.

So the tpm systems on Amazon, made for trailers etc was my first thought. Then realized the extra weight and clearance could be an issue. Alas, just seems like someone would have a proven solution for the task. Do the type "a" gw already have tpm?

I decided to order a Mobiletron - PTO_VPC02A-LA4. They are out of black, so i am waiting on length to ship and shipping costs. unit was about 135. Apparently they used to sell external version.. only silver and black now. Silver in stock
