Trailer tire pressure remote monitoring systems
After a trailer tire blowout last year, I installed a remote monitoring
system that displays the trailer tire pressure on command, and alerts me automatically if the pressure drops. I don't know how effective this will be in avoiding tire problems, because it's possible tread separation can occur even if the pressure is OK, but at least I won't be driving on under-inflated tires. There are several systems that one can choose from. I'm using PressurePro, which is about $150 for the monitor and $50/tire for the sensors. I also put them on my tow vehicle, so it was $650 for the two trailer wheels and the six RV wheels. It was easy to install and seems to work well. Is anyone else using a trailer tire monitoring system? Has it helped you avoid tire problems? -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * Updated!
