Question:
TST tpms installation. How do I avoid stem failure if I use this system?
asked by: Gregg R
Expert Reply:
Not sure what TST TPMS you're looking at but the best way to prevent stem failure is to be sure to use the proper air pressure in the tire. A system like the TST TPMS for RVs item # TST-507-RV-4-C can be used on rubber, steel, chrome, or nickel valve stems.
If you use a TST TPMS with flow through sensors like item # TST94VR, you'll need to have metal valve stems.
What kind of RV or setup are you looking to add tire pressure monitors to and what kind of valve stems do you have?
