I left my 4 year old Tire Safeguard system on my '93 when I traded it in.
Figured I would start over with a new system.
So what are you guys using?
I will use VMSPC so have the option of getting Pressure Pro and running it through VMSPC. But it looks like it will be $800 to do this.
The Tire Safeguard had flow-through sensors which I liked. I also had problems with the valve extensions leaking when I first installed the sensors on the rear inners so I pulled off the extensions which made the flow-through nice.
Tire Safeguard did have a few problems, dead monitor battery, a couple sensors went bad. If it was in warranty they replaced these no question and quick shipping.
What other brands?

The buyer was over today to pick up the M380 that I sold to him. He brought along a new TPMS made by TST. I really like the new inovative
design. The sensors are designed so that you can check tire pressure or add air without removing the sensor from the valve stem. The sensors also have a replaceable battery and appear to be well built. I had the older model TPMS from TST installed on my former Wanderlodge LXi but had some problems with the sensors going bad prematurly. These look like they would be a great improvement over the earlier type.

It's been TST for me. Great system with zero problems and already saved me from major damage to the toad's brakes. Russ

So I bought the pressure pro last year and will install it soon. Curious about the last comment of saving the brakes on the toad. I thought these simply measured pressure of the coaches tires. What doe this system do that is saved the toads brakes?
