ℹ️ IN THIS EPISODE: For over 2 years, we have not had a Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which was a bad decision.. One of the reasons is that we couldn't decide which TPMS to buy. We finally got our hands on both a TireMinder and a TST system so thought it would be great for everybody else trying to decide between a TST vs Tireminder TPMS system. Check out the video for the install process and how we finally chose between the TireMinder and TST TPMS systems.

@RamblinRoadies 2 года назад

Good choice. Also, note that TST was originally developed for professional truckers. TST customer service is great! I was having a difficult time programming mine, so I called CS. They walked me through the process, and it still wouldn't work. So they asked me to send them back for replacement. They tested them when they received them, and amazingly were able to program them. So they programed them to my parameters and returned them to me. Shipping and programming all for free. Now I need to get a sensor for the spare. Thanks for the tip. 🍻

@tomroot6013 Год назад

I own both, and you nailed it! TST is a PITA, mostly! What you brought out in good points for the TST is not my concerns anyway have contacted BOTH and asked it a Sensor could be incorporated to know Bearing Temps. Never forget to check those temps with the back of your hand, or better yet, an IR Temp Sensor. I doubt they will take my opinion, but I have lost 4 Bearings causing catastrophic Failures. I am designing my own actually now. Just an idiot light but can pullover to do my checks. I have been RV'ing since 1977, and owned every type of RV made, I ONLY have 3 of them, right now! Oh, and 24 Boats that I haul, so those bearings are the worst out there! LOL

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Yup. Great thinking!

@sherriweber7105 2 года назад

You both are so funny! I like how you both chose differently. Natalie I like the tire minder too because it looked easy to set up. I was confused with the TST with the flashing lights. But I’m glad Natalie decided to keep the Tireminder for her car which is cool. And glad you kept the TST for the truck and trailer. That was a quick and ray decision.Will you keep me informed how they work your car and how the TST works while driving. Thank you for thus video. Hope you have a great week and weekend. Stay safe. Travel safe.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Yea I’m struggling to get it set up on the car. Need to see whether I really need the signal boost!

@WaywardWaggs 2 года назад

We have been using Tire Minder the whole time we have been on the road and love it. We have only had to change batteries once so that is impressive too.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Awesome. Free batteries at shows apparently too?

@chemcody5119 2 года назад

Great video. We just installed the TireMinder. Our truck has it's own TMPS so we only used 4 sensors on the 5th wheel so there is no screen switching back and forth. We are sitting in a camp ground in Morro Bay, CA and can say that I did feel safer during our trip over. Thank you for endorsing TMPS. Everyone should use one. Safe travels!

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Thanks Chem! Have a lovely time in CA 😃

@Z22ZINFS 11 месяцев назад

Their truck is new enough to have factory TPS, so they wasted money on four extra sensors and made reading pressures more complicated. Even with extra unnecessary sensors for the truck, they could have put 8 tires on one screen. It's not complicated to read. I did it and it worked GREAT!

@gregpiet8428 2 года назад

I was able to sync my TST sensors with them already installed on the tires. TST also has setups for different trailers, so for those with multiple trailers you can have multiple trailers already set up and switch between them(RV, horse trailer, and the like). It also can quickly switch to not monitor any trailer if desired. TST also has the fast leak alert so for those with a big fifth wheel that might not immediately feel a blow out it will make noise and let you know. Thanks for the comparison as I was bouncing between the two units.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

This is great feedback Greg, thankyou! I didn't really think about putting the sensors on first and then just carrying the monitor round to sync them!?

@zippy7451 2 года назад

I found that I was constantly looking at my TST monitor on the first few legs of our trip after installing it. Now I only occasionally look at it and really depend on the alerts to let me know if something is wrong. Good tip on the spares…..I’m going to order two more monitors for mine also. In the end, either is better than no monitor at all and makes travel day that much easier since you don’t have to manually measure the pressure as you mentioned.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Good to know! It’s addicting to watch 🤣

@HomeOnTheHitch 2 года назад

Great video guys !! We use the Tire Minder, has saved us a few times.. the tireminder does alert you at a percentage over or under. But you can set the target psi with the tireminder. Safe travels!!

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Thanks for the info hitch! I couldn't see where to do that, but I absolutely glance over instructions, so I will check it out in more detail when I reinstall it on the explorer.

@LouCetrangelo 2 года назад

Hi Lawrence & Natalie: You guys are one of our favorite RV RU-vidrs. I think I know why your monitor thinks all is fine when you are out of range. The sensors have the ability to know when the tires are in motion. If they are stationary, to save the battery they do not send a signal out too frequently. I'm not sure how long but it could be 20 minutes. However when in motion they are reporting every few seconds. When you drive away the monitor is programed to send an alert after at least 20 min has elapsed. (again I am not sure how long that actually is). Lou & Diane.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Hey Guys! That’s great information, so thank you! That makes total sense. We actually put the question to TST and Tireminder and will hopefully be posting a video soon as a follow up. You explained it really well, and might have to steal that for our video 😁👍

Super timely. We are hoping to lock in an order on a TPMS today and were down to these same two units. We use the built in truck monitoring on our Ford so we’ll get the add-on just for our trailer. Leaning Tireminder. We also just had Lithium installed so not sure how the booster will connect to that - to be seen. Thanks for the overview.

@clarkblodgett4332 2 года назад

We use $36 dollar 4 tire wireless tpm from Amazon. Our truck has tpm built in. Our trailer is 31' for reference. It displays four tires at the same time, no booster. It takes a few minutes for all of them to register when we start out. The sensors came labeled for the tire it's setup for, but you can reprogram them if you need to. This is the second one as we left the first one was left on the dash in the sun too long. I question the actual temperature reading though because the sensor is external to the tire. But it's clear after a few minutes on the highway the pressure does increase in each tire 5 to 7psi. I have compared the pressure reading to an actual pressure gauge (Slime digital) and they appear to be about 1psi different.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Thats good Clark. I also wonder if the internal sensors would be more accurate. Although a faff to fit I am sure.

@sprayhawk808 2 года назад

We have the Tireminder i10, which allows us to see all of our tires at once. On our long trip last summer, we did get some odd/radical readings - extreme/sudden temp changes - which wasnt very comforting when there wasnt a problem. Since then, no alarms. We experience the same prob with the display not realizing the trailer isnt there for an extended period. Id figure an alarm would sound if signal is suddenly lost - like if there is a tire failure...

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Yes that was absolutely our concern also. It should really alert immediately if the sensor is not there, not 40 miles away? But very odd that the TST did this also. We will reach out and ask for some more information regarding this.

@vbjage 2 года назад

Hey guys, you may want to look at other models in either or both manufacturers. We have the Tireminder A1AS and its been great. Larger screen and we can see up to 22 tires at once, and can manually switch between PSI and temp with the press of a button. it also has Bluetooth connectivity, so you can monitor from your phone and you have some settings in there (This is for you, Laurence) that you can adjust. Just a suggestion. As long as you have something that in the end alerts you of an issue, preferably before its too late, thats all that counts! :)

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Ahhh, fantastic. That’s sound like that we really need. We will check that out! Thanks JJ!

@stephenandkelleb5252 2 года назад

I use the doran tire pressure monitoring system, you see it all at once.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Thanks for this info Stephen, we will definitely look into this system!

@technojerry 2 года назад

Another option for Ford owners when order your truck is get the Ford Ultimate Tow Package. The package comes with four trailer replacement valve stem sensors like your existing truck tires. You have to install the wiring loom on the trailer, but it has a repeater and backup camera too. The trailer pressure sensors are on the trailer menu in your center display which is one over to the right from your truck tire pressure. You can see all four at the same time, but have to switch between truck and trailer. I’m not worried about truck so I live the display on trailer. The same menus set that tell you if your trailer lights are ok, etc. Temperature is not included, but it is easy to see the effect by how much the pressure increases. On the 15K# 5er I see increase from 110 PSI cold to 135 PSI sunny side with wind loads from cross winds. It is easy to tell which side is sunny or loaded from winds from just tire pressure. BTW with it built in the dash, one less thing on the dash. With a 13.5’ high rig, I have RV Garmin GPS unit and Furrion rear camera monitor too so I’m glad not to have a third display to deal with. Yes I have two cameras for when really backing up, but Ford lawyers don’t let you see the camera displayed above 5mph.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

That's fantastic information Jerry. We had no idea it did all that. We did look into when we first got our truck, but it was incredibly expensive. We will check it out again and see if this is worth installing. Thanks for the info! Great stuff!

@technojerry 2 года назад

@@BrazenBrits When I was ordering a $70K truck to pull a $65K trailer, the option was in the noise for me since we are only on our 4th RV in 36 years of RV’ing. I had to order 3rd party replacement valve stems since I have 16” G rated rims on my Solitude. The stock Ford trailer sensors are for the vast majority of tow behind trailers than heavy 5ers.

@Grem135 2 месяца назад

Tip for TireMinder. Since you have a single rear wheel truck set the monitor like you did. front and outer middle. For the trailer with 4 tires use the inner 4 locations (the ones for front and rear inner duals) for the trailer and now you have all 8 tires on one screen!

@robmcneill2967 2 года назад

Great compromise you two We will research both a little more in depth....but tire pressure is a real safety issue and your home away from home is riding on it....I would say a good bang for your buck considering how much damage a single blow out can cause. The only issue I would have is I'm not much of a technical geek, but I might be able to handle the TST.

I almost threw the tireminder across the driveway today setting it up in the car and then Laurence reminded me I needed the signal boost out of the camper - oops 🤣🤣 - Natalie

@joecraft4409 Год назад

Function over form is the key here. No matter what the unit looks like has no importance compared to how accurate the system is. Knowing that you can monitor your tires and be alerted when potential trouble rears it ugly head is priceless. My personal feelings are, if a company gives (or loans) someone a product to review or compare to another like product, the product should be returned or the reviewer should give the product away in a random drawing. If it turned out to be something the reviewer needed or wants, then they should purchase it. But thats just my view from here. Nice video comparing two Tpm systems.

@BrazenBrits Год назад

Cheers Joe 👍

@bgauweiler Год назад

Any update on why neither system alerts you it has lost connection with the sensors?

@someguyinflorida 2 года назад

We currently run the TST... but I am not thrilled. My wife has to monitor it because of the small size and individual tire display. When I'm driving alone, I can't watch it safely. I also don't like that the alert sound is constant till you hit a button. If I experience a blowout the last thing I need while trying to keep the rig under control is a constant beeping. The newer TireMinder A1AS appears to resolve all these issues and more.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Very good points!!! We shall check out the newer model also.

@4everlandrv988 2 года назад

Check your settings as far as seeing the tire pressure/temp rotation. Ours disengaged after about 5 min. Maybe it's because ours is internal.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Ok. Will check that out 👍

@HSTWXMAN 2 года назад

Natalie could have put all your sensors on the front view and then it wouldn't need to flip. I like that view much better. I hope you get an answer about why the trailer sensors don't disconnect when you are away of the trailer. I had the same question.

@BrazenBrits 2 года назад

Good idea! We will try doing this. Got a response from TST. Don’t think we have from Tireminder

@Z22ZINFS 11 месяцев назад

Man did you set up your TireMinder goofy. You could have easily put your truck and trailer on the same screen, EASILY. I did. Put the truck tires on the four outer tires in the diagram. Put the four trailer tires in the four inner tire diagram. Unless you have dually tires on the truck, this method is GREAT! One screen shows all and it does not have to flash between two screens, as your setup did.

@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel 10 месяцев назад

Can I assume that being British you are in Britain and therefore you maybe haven't ever deflated your tyres for track and beach driving? The reason I ask is that the vast majority of TPMS's have a low-pressure alarm which goes off constantly when you drop your tyre pressure to say 20 PSI. Did you experience any of this and did either device have a 4WD mode?

@BrazenBrits 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jackaroo, We are actually in the US now. We used to offroad a lot in the UK in a Landrover 300TDi, but it was mainly mud driving, so didn't really have a need to lower the tire pressures too often. We found that thinner more inflated tires cut through the clay and mud much better. Both TPMSs have low pressure alarms and I know for sure that the TST is configurable for this. however, we use this mainly to monitor our RV tire pressures on long trips to avoid blow-outs.

It does. We mainly use this to monitor our Travel Trailer that we tow behind, but its nice to have all the truck and RV information all in the same place. It also means that we can monitor other truck sensors on the dashboard screen and let the TPSM system focus on the tires.

Sorry, I think the idea of a sensor on spare tire is a waste of $. If you change a flat & spare is low, just add air with the ViAir. That's what it for, adding air to a tire (or is it tyre).
