Tire monitors

Yahoo Message Number: 14432
We are thinking of getting some sort of tire monitor for our coach. I was checking on the SmarTire because it will monitor through our Silverleaf but is there some place else to get it besides OR?

Has anyone used it or some other system that really works without a bunch of problems?

I have Smartire. It works well, the tire temperature function is very much appreciated. Two cautions
1. make sure the installer cuts off ALL excess clamping band free end. I have two cases where it broke off and cut/gouged the tire from the inside causing flats.
2. The battery replacement in each tire requires dismounting. Smartire says 7 years. I would almost give up  the temperature feature to go with the valve cap system because of the
above cons.

I use PressurePro which uses sensors on the tire valves (requiring no dismounting) and a small display on my dash. Works great, constantly displaying tire pressure for each tire position.

You should be able to get Smart Tire and any Les Schwabb Tire place - we put it on and it has saved us twice - First time I didn't believe it but one tire was indicating low - and for some reason it had lost air - stopped and had it checked - sure enough it was low and with some air it was fine - next time I again didn't believe the monitor - sure enough we had a slow leak in the valve - different tire - for got about the third time - inside tires were hot - but we were in the mountains - caused from erratic traffic and being on the brakes more than I should have been -
