    I found on internet a wireless system that monitors the tires pressure on all 18 wheels. Does anyone is using anything like this ???? I am really interested in a such gadget but I won't buy unless I hear from someone that use the thing.
    It sounds really appealing knowing the price of a tire so any input would be appreciated.

    I have a Duran tire nonitering system for just the truck at the push of a button I know what psi for each tire its been accurate within 2 psi every time I compare it to a gauge unit is supposed to beep and warn me if there is rapid air loss but I've never had a leak so not really sure ifvthat part works lol

    I have used TST TPMS for over 3 years and would not own a truck without them. Make sure you order the optional repeater to insure strong signal quality. Kevin Rutherford has now started recommending them too.

    I use the TST 507 Flow thrus that I like better than the 510 system: http://tsttruck.com/product/tst-507-flow-thru/

    I work for a municipality in Ont canada and we had a company give us one to try. I was about $1000 for a 10 wheel system, the batteries in the pressure caps are not replaceable so when they die you pay $60 for a new sensor cap. We put it on a truck amonth ago and I see its sitting on the bosses desk in a box ready to go back. This brand was a pressure pro mayby other systems are cheaper and better.

    That is why the TST 507 is better than the 510 system is that you can replace the batteries yourself with standard watch type batteries that can be purchased about anywhere.

    Thanks dice for the extra info. I found it to be a bad design not to have replaceable batteries. Glad we are not buying this specific system.
