According to my contact at TireMinders, the sensors used on the # TPMS-APP-4 TPMS system are light enough that they would have no discernible effect on the wheel's balance.

I've linked to a product description video for the # TPMS-APP-4 system you'd looked at.

Answer 1

What size tire do you have? There should be a 4 digit number on the tire after DOT. When reading the DOT number on your existing tire, you will want to look at the last four digits of the number (if there are more than 4), not necessarily the numbers…

Yes, the temperatures you mentioned are normal. If you were getting over 200 degrees that would be a bad sign. But typically if all of the hubs are the same temperature you're good and it's only really an issue if one of the hubs is hotter…

The MTI number on your 8-201 hubs is simply a casting number. It does not indicate any information about the hubs or have anything to do with the actual part number. I'm not surprised to hear you have different outer bearings between the two…

Since wheels will be able to withstand the psi rating of any of the tires that are meant to fit it you will need to look at the valve stem as that is the deciding factor. If your valve stem has the rubber all the way up to the threads, like part…

Answer 8

I spoke with one of the engineers at HWT and he told me that the psi rating for an HWT wheel and tire assembly is only limited by the valve stem and tire. If your current wheels or new wheels have a psi rating under 110 psi, it is okay to use tires…

I haven't heard that before so that's interesting. In the last few years, the wheel manufacturer's started removing pressure ratings on the wheels and have focused more on stating their capacity. Unless otherwise stamped on the wheel…

Great questions! I will answer your questions and then give a recommendation on what to do. a - The valve stem is more or less what determines the max psi rating for a wheel. So yes, there are wheels that can handle 110 psi as long as they have a…

Good question, Logan. Some of the old bolt-on adapters were a problem, usually from people using the wrong size and overloading it. But 5th wheel to gooseneck adapters are generally safe and accepted as a proper and legitimate upgrade. Modern…
