Re: Back to Tire Pressure Monitoring Reply #26 – October 31, 2014, 10:40:25 am Quote from: Kent Speers – October 30, 2014, 08:38:16 pmIt's interesting that I had come to the conclusion that the Tire Tech On system from Amazon was the best value. I believe it to be the same as the Tire Traker system (Amazon.com: TireTech On TP7004 Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System w/ 10) but with a different label and considerably less expensive. Any comments anyone?Kent this system looks just like my tire traker system. I have not had any issues with it for the past two or so years I have had it. I have them on my jeeps rubber tire stems too. Mark Quote Selected As an Amazon Associate Foretravel Owners' Forum earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: Back to Tire Pressure Monitoring Reply #27 – October 31, 2014, 10:45:02 am The TireTech system looks exactly like the Tire Traker system which I've had for a few years. I have one major issue with the system which prevents me from recommending it. Per the website Q&A page (http://www.tiretraker.com/faqs.asp#8): 8. What is the sleep mode? When there is no motion of the vehicle for 15 minutes, the system and sensors will go into 'Sleep' mode. This will save system battery power. When the system 'Awakes', the last pressure and temperature that was showing will be indicated. As soon as motion begins, the monitor will update the system data with the current pressures and temperatures. Note: When The System Is In The Sleep Mode, The System Is Continually Monitoring Your Tires And Will Immediately Notify You Of Any Pressure Or Temperature Alarm. Motion Is Not Necessary To Activate Any Alarm - You Will Know Immediately If Your Tire(s) Has A Problem. I want to know my tire pressure readings before I head out and I'm guessing most others would too. Quote Selected

I spoke with the distributor. They know nothing other than what is in their literature. One thing you sacrifice getting the great price is technical knowledge and probably customer service. After looking at everything I can find I am confident enough to risk the purchase price and I'm betting the Tire Tracker senors work just fine with this system. Quote Selected
Re: Back to Tire Pressure Monitoring Reply #29 – October 31, 2014, 11:35:24 am Kent, No idea about their customer service, however it surely could not be less than Pressure Pro, who Informed me that I was too stupid to screw the sensors on! Very impressed with them.Finally solved the air leaking by buying the NEW seal kit $12.00, and installing all new stems on rims. Now no need to add air since the new Michelin tires 11 months ago.Customer service ? not at Pressure Pro. Quote Selected
Re: Back to Tire Pressure Monitoring Reply #30 – October 31, 2014, 11:40:01 am This system is much easier to install than PP as you carry the monitoring unit with you as you install the sensors. If you have any experience with installing sensors you will find this is a breeze. We are happy with our TT. System.Roland Quote Selected

Howdy Kent, I had great support, knowledge and warranty service from Darryl Lawerence at: RV Safety Accessories IncI wonder if they might negotiate on price?

Re: Back to Tire Pressure Monitoring Reply #34 – October 31, 2014, 07:27:20 pm Dave, I might give that a try first but one of the ways they can lower price is by not offering any customer service or warranty refunds. I've just about decided that "when you go Cheap you takes yo changes". Quote Selected
