Tyre Monitors

www.sidewinder.com.au are as good as any and better than some Pricewise the same

Depends on the type of sensors you are looking for. I've done a review on the two types that I have used. My recommendation is Sensatyre in what ever flavour of tyre sensor you want (internal, internal valve or screw on valve (external)).

Tyre Pressure Monitor Review

Inawise is a great unit.

I've had 2 units, the TMPS one and more recently the Sidewinder one. I have a trailer which limits the choice somewhat. Both were great and saved me.

Here is my take
1) I would definitely avoid any that are sealed. The sidewinder ones have been through sand, water etc and never missed a beat.I got sick of paying $50 x 6 every 2 years for new sealed sensors. Now I carry a handful of CR2016 batteries, though interestingly they have lasted more than 3 years.....

2)While an internal one is probably more accurate for temperature, pressure is the same as an external one. Temperature is a longer term symptom of a problem and you will get an alarm well before temp becomes a problem. Having said that, the temp function of my external ones still show a trend. If you rotate the tyres or have 2 sets then internals would definitely be a PITA. Plus many are sealed batteries - see 1)

3) Don't worry about the display too much. You should never need to look at it for normal driving. If the device has a decent alarm then you will know if you have a slow or fast flat. There is no missing it. Also you will realise how much the tyre temps and pressures change while driving. Generally the tyres on the sun side of the car are 4 - 6 PSI more than the shaded side, then they swap around when you turn corners. ( So much for the 4 PSI Rule LOL) Anyway the point is that looking at the tyre pressures and temps means almost zero minute by minute. Mounting is more important than display IMHO.

Given that the Sidewinder one has motion detection to turn the sensors and display off, easily enables and disables the trailer sensors, and simply allows alarm thresholds per axle. It seemed decent value to me. Happy Chappy.

Have used the tyredog for 3 years without a problem (but no punctures in this time as I drive a Landcruiser with BFG). Mate also has the tyredog system and he has managed to save tyres twice on heavy corrugations when the TPMS alerted him of a puncture before it deflated completely.
