Resistance is futile
Thank you for responding. I depend on TPMS in my auto’s. The add-on price of $450 seemed excessive
My TST 507 easily saved me $500, probably a lot more based on what's happened when I've lost a tire before.
I was going north on Overland Trail toward LaPorte when my TST started beeping. Left rear trailer tire was losing pressure. 95-90-84-80 ... WTF? Is this a malfunction?
I slowed down and found a good place to pull over. I walked back to the tire and heard a loud hissing. Feeling around the tire, I found what was causing the hissing - I guess I'd run over a box cutter blade. There is NO WAY I would have known about that otherwise. I'm pretty sure I would have eventually shredded the tire somewhere on 14 (with no place to pull over) and took out who knows what behind it on the trailer - rear tank dump, fuel station, certainly a bunch of J wrap.
As it was, I easily changed onto the spare (also with a TPMS sender) using my LevelUp to lift the trailer. Took maybe 20 minutes.
