    It seems like there were some threads on this awhile back but I'm coming up short. Anyone using one of these systems? I used to hate them and I'm not trying to avoid a pre-trip, but with the condition of the roads these days I'm having more and more tire trouble.

    I'm willing to spend the money if I can find a product that actually works.

    What's your experience?

    And a tire hammer.

    Plus a old time checking of the spoke bolts and tires three times every 4 hours.

    Used to change them as needed too. Or simply left them on and let the road service swap em.

    Thanks guys. I have a good guage and hammer. If you noticed in my post I said 'not trying to avoid pretrip'. I always check my tires, more often than most drivers I see. Lately I've had a few flats while under load though.

    I have Doran 360HD installed 2-3 months ago. Looks like a working device. Accuracy is +/-2 psi.
