NEW TPMS SYSTEM

[Jabber Jaw]

Hi Y'all,

I bought a 24' enclosed trailer, in which to carry my classic car (1966 Pontiac GTO, if you're interested).
My question is about some of the "new" wirless TPMS units in the marketplace. I had a TST 507 , 10 sensor system with my Newmar.
These new ones are rather inexpensive, with both "solar" & "usb charging" systems. They claim at least an 80' transmission range.
Has anyone used or had experience with these new style "TPMS" systems? If so, I would appreciate your opinion, good, or especially bad, & why!
Amazon has several available......RELVO.......&......TYMATE are two that I looked at. RRELVO does not have replacable batteries in the sensors, which I do not care for. But at the price, one could almost throw it away & buy another! TYMATE does have replaceable batteries, like the TST 507 sensors!
Yhanks for your help and advice!

IMHO, only flow through valve caps would be acceptable! Otherwise, you lose pressure each time you need to check other fill through the valve stem.
If the models you mentioned have that, you have my blessing.

I have the Timate. Recommended to be used only with steel valve stems. (Okay for the coach but not the Wrangler. But seems to work okay with the jeep). My BIG concern was presetting the air pressures. My tire shop set the coach pressures at 90 PSI. When installed the TPMS they read 100 PSI. I purchased tire a pressure gauge from Amazon and it read 95 PSI!! Which is correct?? I went to another tire shop and his read 90 PSI so I just left the TPMS at reading 100. So far no issues other than I had set the high pressure max at 99 (10% of 90) so when traveling, and the pressures exceed 100 I get an alarm. I just hit the mute button and keep an eye on them. I will reprogram sometime. The jeep rides along with no issues. Set at 40 PSI and reads 40 PSI. Oh and I did not have to install the included repeater. No problem monitoring the Jeep.

I've tried TST, Tire Minder, and two different Amazon Chinesium brands on motorcycles, cargo trailers, and RVs. So far, only the TST has lasted, so now I have that on everything.

Haven’t heard of the new one but the TST worked well for us over the years.

Last one is the new monitor with the repeater.

Readings always matched the gauges so I used that to check tire pressures before traveling.

Didn’t have the flow through but no issues getting them in or off and losing air.

Didn’t have to order metal valve stems for the Cherokee since Jeep does not carry them.

Even though the “non flow through” say they can use rubber valve stems I’d go with metal - had one in the first coach that cracked with the extra weight of the cap style monitor.

We have used a TST system for a few years and liked it. We needed more sensors and for the price of adding the sensors for the TST we instead purchased a new complete GUTA system from Amazon that claimed a longer reach.
The new system worked fine for us for our couple small trips, no issues. And the pressures aligned within a couple PSI against our Milton inflator gauge.
We don’t use the flow through sensors, but stick with the sensors we have to remove each time air is needed.

I took all my cheap ones off because I discovered that they were the reason my tires were deflating. I had 3 of the cheap ones on the Goldwing, trailer behind it, and my Jeep. The TireTrakker in my Class C came from the TT I had and I bought 2 extra senders. Only complaint is it seems to eat batteries but generally it works.
