Have you had any tire failures or alerts to low pressure. Any instances of the sensors not updating?

Thanks ,

YES, you can use 2 of the 4. Put the third one on your spare tire. It'll tell you when the spare tire pressure gets low.

YES, I have had the A1A for 5 years now. Really appreciate the peace of mind they give me. I have looked at what the monitor says before a trip, then I check with a pressure gauge. Right on. As I travel down the road, I sometimes scroll between pressure and temperature. It's interesting to see what happens in the differing conditions. Last summer, I was having problems with the monitor. Called Tire Minder and they promptly replaced the monitor. I have always had good conversations with them when I called. I like that they include the booster. I have never seen a connection drop except when the battery died on 2 of the monitors.

In fact, I left mine on all winter this past winter. Every once in awhile, I would turn on the monitor and see what the tire pressures were. I have only lost 3 pounds of pressurevall winter.

I just called the TireTraker factory, asked if I could buy the unit with 4 sensors and then order 4 more tire sensors later. The guy said sure... can monitor up to 22 tires.

Sounds like a good deal on a lifetime warranty unit.

Thanks for all the good information I ordered the TST 507 yesterday and hope to have it by the weekend to get everything set up and ready to start camping.

My TST 507 system has been working perfectly for the past 9 years.

The receiver on my Minder went bad after 6-ish years. I talked with them and sent it to them for testing and they confirmed it’d died. It was an older unit and they made me a good deal on an upgrade.

TST and Minder seem to be the most popular units but may seem a bit pricy. I think it’s more important to get one (a good one) than to stress over the details.

thanks for all the feedback on the TPMS systems...I finally decided on the Beipuit system and I'll keep ya'll posted on how they work.
