Question:

I have a Big Tex 22GN that I am planning on getting the Tire Minder A1AS TPMS for, I also want to get some valve stem extenders but wanted to verify that they will work with the tire minders and if so, which one you would recommend. I saw some valve stem extenders that say they do not have pressure on them all the time and I would think that would not work with the tire minders. The trailer has ST235/80R16 with steel wheels. It is a tandem axle dully

Expert Reply:

As long as you use valve extenders that are not airless (don't hold air) and are constructed of brass or steel, like the Wheel Masters # WM8005 which do hold air, so they will be compatible with a TireMinder system. TireMinder has a few different options with the A1A-S systems depending on how many sensors you need. If you need as many as 10 sensors, you can use the # TM79FR. There is also a 4 sensor system # TM49FR and a 6 sensor system # TM69FR. These systems can also be paired to your Bluetooth enabled smart phone via the TireMinder app, so you can use your phone or the included LCD monitor to keep tabs on your trailer tires.
