I use the Tire Minder Smat TPMS. It is very accurate and works great.

I recommend a system with flow-through sensors and replaceable batteries. Flow-through allows you to add air without removing the monitor, a major convenience feature. Some of my TST 510 sensor batteries have lasted 5+ years, but when the battery goes the whole sensor must be replaced. Even if the batteries had a shorter life it would be cheaper to replace a battery than a whole sensor. I eventually added a repeater in the front compartment of my 5th wheel because I sometimes lost signal from one of the trailer sensors, and haven't had a problem since.

I have the TireMinder solar powered unit dispayed. When I check the tire pressure with the gauge there is about a 3-4 pound offset, but who knows which is more accurate, the gauge or the TMPS?



My questions deal with the temperature readouts; when I use the temperature "gun" to check the sidewall temperatures, there is about a 20 degree differential between the readings (gun vs TMPS). I assume ambient temperature affects the sensors a lot as well as sidewall temperature.

How much of a differential should one expect to see? How accurate are the temperatures from the TMPS? As we only set a standard pressure, how does the TMPS know what a limiting temperature should be?

Thanks.

Ken
