Tyre pressure monitoring system

Whatever you buy, make sure you can actually hear the alarm, mine is so high pitched, I cant hear it. My hearing isn't the best for high frequencies. Good in principle, but not always useful, for me

I did a review on one recently...

Doran 360 Tyre Pressure Monitor

Cheers, Baz - The Landy

I currently have the Inawise internal system and have had no issues in the 18months I have owned it and very happy with its ease of use and accuracy. Prior to that I had the external Tyredog system that was fine too but one of the sensors broke when hit by a rock so thought I would change to an internal system

The internal ones are better protected against damage and possible water ingress plus give a more accurate temp reading.

When looking at the various options a couple of things to consider:
-Ease of reading display and also some only display one tyre pressure at a time and scroll through them others show all sensor readings at once which I think is better
-Ease of resetting base tyre pressure when you air down or up for various conditions
-How they calibrate the high or low pressure warning system, some operate on a set Psi difference, others work on a percentage difference of the set base Psi
-cost to replace damaged sensors should you need to, some are overly expensive
- whether you need an expandable system for towing a trailer etc

Hope that helps you,they are a great accessory and pay for themselves over and over again

Hi Ken

We do a 4 tyre and large system up to 22 tyres.

Email me for some info.

I have Derek's TPMS - good value when compared to similar brand name ones. No problems to date.

One issue to bear in mind with these (and presumably any external type) is that they wobble around (something I didn't really think about in advance) and they've marked my rims (alloy).

I've now made a collar which I hope will stabilise them.

Despite the obvious bashing they've suffered from whacking the rim, they continue to perform faultlessly.

Ken,

There is a couple of comprehensive blogs on TPMS systems, a couple brands which Mick O has tested and a TPMS Australia brand which I have also commented on.

One recommendation I can make after my just completed trip to the Kimberley and back.
If you intend doing a lot of off road driving, invest in a system with internal sensors.

I had a hassle airing down and up and down and up and having to "unlock" the external sensors with an Allen key each time. A royal PITA!

yep good investment
I have the sensatyre system, also have them fitted in my car carrier trailer.

If you're thinking of getting TyreDogs - don't !!
Paid around $600 and I've now had them for about three years and three big trips.
Lucky to get 2 or 3 out of 6 wheels reading at any given time.
Supplier was co-operative and replaced a couple of sensors after trip one, under warranty, but really not much better now. Though I guess knowing what is happening with 3 wheels is better than none!
