TPMS systems provide security and peace of mind. Knowing real time temps and pressures of your trailer tires at expressway speeds can help mitigate a catastrophic failure.

My take is this: $300 invested (Tireminder,EEZtire,TST...pick your brand) and maybe 30 minutes of tire-changing inconvenience on the side of the road.

OR, a $500 deductible for $3,000 worth of damage, the claims process (argggh), and the long road to "in-season, vacation-destroying" repair (maybe a month or so). Can't wait for my Ford stems!
