Tire Pressure Monitors

I have never used a TPM but am considering getting one.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Anyone know anything about this one?

My preference will be for interior mount sensors. Below are links I've collected:

I've got a TPMS from TST, and have been very happy with it. About $400 for system with 8 sensors. Reads tire pressure & temperature.

Ditto on the TST System. Had three (3) that is 3 flat tires on the same trip last spring. The TST let me know in plenty of time to get off the road before the tire came apart and torn up the trailer. In most cases I still had 30 psi or more when I got stopped.

See my post "Flat Tire King" That was one expierance I don't want to have again.

Ditto on the TST. They let me know a tire was going low driving thru LA. Was able to pull off the freeway to a convenient parking lot. W/O the TST, I would have been on the side of the road with a blow out and probably some wheel well damage on the trailer. Worth the investment in my mind.

i am using the one you listed for three years now. i am very satisfied with it. it uses hearing aid batteries that last a year or longer and very easy to change. the monitor has a lithium ion rechargable battery in it

TST here - - hopefully it will save me from what has previously happened.
