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?
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.
...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.
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.

We have a 2016 Canyon Star.
1. Plug in is fine, we've have a progressive 50Amp
2. We use a 5/8 ID water hose, Renator adjustable regulator
3. Never used chocks
4 Have TPMS and Viair 450P-RV
...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...
Part of my decision was based on my overall needs for tpms.
I have 1 Motorohome. 2 toads, and 4 trailers.
The trailers are towed by either of 3 vehicles, one of them being a 2021 Dodge Ram with factory tpms and ability to monitor trailer tires.
That means I have 2 towing vehicles that can...
This weekend, got the basics of TPMS CAN transceiver integration working. Starting to work on a user interface for it. Using PSITireInflation.com parts. We also want to add the ability to pair wheel sensors to position, and manage the 4 sets of settings.
@Stuart S take a look at @redbaron's post as an FYI to see if you're buying into something you may not want to?

I did not set up my toad with in dash TPMS. They say you can buy extra tire sensors and you can incorporate them with your system, but I have yet to run across anybody who has done it yet. I may look into Tire Tracker for my Jeep Sahara toad instead.

Hello! I have a new trailer and I bought a TPMS for our upcoming long trips. I got confused when i was installing my system on what my psi warning should be? The sidewalls says 65psi cold max. Is that what i should have my tires inflated to or should i not exceed 65psi? What should i put as...
I had been watching this tread to see if there really was a way to actually change the useless SoartanLync TPMS warnings.
I bought 2x 20k weight scales and do 4 corner each major trip. I do cheat and after chocking other wheels lift the cornet up on the leveling jack 3” off ground and slide...
I too, use a TST-507 TPMS system. And I use a digital tire gauge.
Surprisingly, they agree on all (coach & toad) but two tires, the inside duals. TST is one pound lower than the digital gauge.
Guess I am lucky that they are that close. And have had both the "TST" & digital gauge for almost 4...
Even on our 2022 SuperStar the rear inners did not have extensions.
Dealership added the rubber stabilizer and extensions ( or longer valve stems, need to verify ) so I could attach my TPMS easily. Know I’ll need to watch the rubber stabilizers but they should be the new design.
I have Eez tpms for about 15 years. I pull my Jeep behind the motorhome. While off-roading I air down the tires and air up when back on the hard road. Dealing with the tpms sensors was a pain. On off on off. So I drilled a hole for a second air valve on the rims. These air valve were drilled on...
