Got the Tire Traker the other day. Install was straight forward and easy. Not heading out again until next Thursday looking forward to seeing how well they perform.

Make sure you turn remote on at least 30 minutes before you leave .

I drove to the campground today checked through the 4 sensors a few times started from home at 80 psi after a hour or so tires were all around 86 stayed there during the 4 hour trip. Not sure I trust the tire temps though it was about 50-60 temps outside and the tire temps stayed at about the same as the outside temperature not sure if this is how it should be. I know my stress level was lower knowing my tires were okay. I know I sound wimpy but after the Thanksgiving fun I had it made a big difference knowing my bombs were running like they should.

Well, after doing a bit of research, including this forum, I finally bit the bullet and bought my TPMS system for the TT. Went with the TST 507, after exploring their internal as well as their flo-thru model. Four aspects sold me on the basic system after speaking to their customer service representative, who, by the way was extremely knowledgeable on their product line. One, no need to replace my existing rubber valve stems with metal. (Note that the flo-thru requires the metal stems.) Second, the lower profile as well as weight of the basic 507 system. Third, the ease of changing the batteries, which are available anywhere. Fourth, the reputation of TST with respect to customer service.

Price for the basic system, direct from TST was $233.00. Should arrive in the next couple of days. Can't wait to test it on our spring road trip in March.

Happy to say the Tiretech On TPMS works very well. Easy install and setup and provides accurate real time pressures and temps (verified temps with infrared thermometer). The monitor is about the size of a small flip phone, closed. Easy read face and function. Mounted it with it's suction cup mount to the forward edge of the small drivers side window which makes it non intrusive. When I received it there were 6 extra batteries which surprised me. The monitor battery will last approx 30 days between charges.

Here is a link for those interested.

Tiretech on Tire Pressure Monitoring System w 10 Brass Sensors 0 232 PSI TP7004 | eBay

Using it on a 24 foot Solera and towed Malibu. Have not needed a booster.
I highly recommend this system.

Same exact system as the Tire Minder, Tire Tracker and also sold under other brands.

TURBS, now that it has been a couple of years since your post on the Tire Tracker TPMS. How is it working for you? I am at Goshen and thinking of buying them.

Still have it, still love it!
I've since upgraded to the tt500 which I still recommend.
