    FYI Inside tire Valve Stem Cap removal

    ...reverse direction. I took my bus to my local truck tire store and asked them to reverse the outside duel stem. Nope. It won’t accommodate the TPMS inside the rim. The next time I am at Prevost, I am going to get to the bottom of this and get the right answer. Getting that cap back on is...

    TPMS Recommendation

    The only reason I like TPMS is for the possible road debris. Otherwise every stop I make (seems to be more often as I age), axles and tires get at minimum a visual. At least one stop in 300 miles gets a hand on both, hub, and tire. There is nothing that can replace proper maintenance and...

    Alert TPMS SENSORS ON RUBBER STEMS MAY CAUSE VALVE STEM FAILURE!

    I went to a couple of tire shops today to see about metal stems on the toad. My 2015 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk has an on-board tpms in addition to the eez tire sensors I run on the toad valve stems for flat towing. To change out to a compatible stem for my vehicle was expensive. They (Big O)...

    FYI On a recent trip a Valve stem on the tow failed

    On the VW the OEM TPMS system does not use sensors. The VW system uses differential wheel speed to sense low tire pressure. Unfortunately I have had many flat tires on this vehicle and the TPMS system works flawlessly. On the RV I use the EEZ TPMS system. EEZ uses screw on tire sensors. So the...

    Question Tire air pressure

    ...years I just sort out average weight, determine calculated air pressure. And 5 psi for margin and leave it alone. During a trip I’ll monitor the TPMS for pressure and temperature from trip to trip. If the load changes drastically, visit a CAT scale and reset. A pound here or there is just not...

    Valve stem extender issue on Freightliner/Accuride wheels, again!

    Yes internal sensors, require a special tool to remove valve caps and a long, straight inflator

    Tire pressure

    To be honest I rely on the TPMS system most of the time for daily checks on a trip, unless there has been a significant environmental change temp/altitude. Normally I run +5 to +10 psi from the recommended pressure for current weight, but not over Max recommended tire pressure. .

    TPMS vs Tire Pressure Gauge

    I set the pressure to the TPMS. After a time the tires will vary by 1-2 pounds from each other. I am not ocd about it. As long as they are 97 -100 lbs, I am good. Of course that is cold. I am using TST 507. I think less fiddling with the tire valve is better.

    Looking for a TPMS for Class A

    My 22 will have a new tpms, but I have decided not to use it for the toad. The primary reason is my toad is a jeep wrangler, and I do the 5 tire rotation on it every 5k miles. It has large 37s and I want to get the most out of them. I considered buying the tool that let's me set the tpms, and...

    TPMS Issues - Gen 1 -- NHTSA Recall Campaign

    Dang, after all that I think I would have abandoned that system, or had it removed and just purchased a TST TPMS to use.

    Tire pressure

    Yes. With the TireMinder, checking the inside dual is cake. Now…removing the TPMS sensor…not so much. 😖 Love this one…

    Need a Tire inflator with a Digital Gauge

    ...it sounds like they are well made products. I gave up trying to get all my tires at the exact same pressure and manage to get within 2 psi (according to the TPMS) with a manual gauge, but I can see how this would allow fine tuning of tire pressure. You could also compare results with the TPMS.

    My experience almost exactly with the only differences being that mine is low and to the left and its EZ TPMS…everything else is spot on.

    FYI On a recent trip a Valve stem on the tow failed

    I have been researching this as I have read that having metal valve stems is better for the sensors used by a tpms. How do metal valve stems work if the toad has a tpms on the vehicle?

    Wireless TPMS Good or Bad

    I recently converted my jeep wrangler to metal valve stems compatible with the jeeps tpms sensor. This allowed me to connect the tpms without worry of damaging the rubber stem.

    Several TPMS suppliers recommend using metal valve stems.
