I lost a tire on my trailer last year on the way to Maine and didn't know it. It was on the left side, so no one else was able to see it and let me know. I had to replace the rim and tire, luckily it didn't hurt the fender.
I see that it's possible to spend just about any amount from $50 to $600 for a system to monitor pressure and temperature for 6 tires. I could monitor my two spares, but I think it would be more important to keep an eye on the rear tires of the tow vehicle.
It's not only the system to decide on, but the type of sensor. There are three types, Screw On , Flow Thru and the Internal sensor.
Screw On - Loses air every time you remove to adjust air pressure.
Flow Thru - Doesn't lose air, but requires and metal valve stem.
Internal - Can't be stolen like the two sensors above.
So what system are you using ???
What kind of sensor did you buy ???
