We love it, but have only had one low tire (due to a nail) since we got it and it registered correctly. We previously had a Doran and had a lot of problems with it. I think you'll be happy with the Eez.Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-80276113821151674232015-07-05T20:11:54.273-07:002015-07-05T20:11:54.273-07:00In the photo of your destroyed tire it appears lik...In the photo of your destroyed tire it appears like you’re using rubber valve stems. This didn’t work for me. The weight of the sensor on the end of the valve stem would eventually cause an air leak right at the valve stem itself. I replaced all valve stems with metal stems (the kind that have a rubber seal inside the wheel and a nut showing on the outside to hold it in place. Get the shortest metal valve stems you can find. They look like this:<br />http://www.amazon.com/TR-416-Outer-Mount-Metal-Valve/dp/B00LAJTEFW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436152226&sr=8-1&keywords=Metal+Valve+Stems<br /><br />---Ron<br />Ron and Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443266337458895376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-89915008985839687912015-07-05T17:46:59.443-07:002015-07-05T17:46:59.443-07:00Looks like Pressure Pro is the winner here!

It’s worked flawlessly and has alerted us to a tire problem on at least 4 occasions. Each time it allowed us to get off the road and get the tire fixed before it was damaged. I’d say it has earned its keep.<br />---Ron<br />Ron and Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443266337458895376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-45519189281535119422015-07-02T13:21:27.014-07:002015-07-02T13:21:27.014-07:00Dang that tire is a mess!

I've read of many people having problems with them, including some who've had flats caused by the sensors themselves. You certainly have a legitimate complaint about your system. Hope your new one works much better.Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-3598593704879060092015-07-02T06:42:21.059-07:002015-07-02T06:42:21.059-07:00Good tour of the area.

I can't remember what our TPMS is and they don't make them anymore but ours has been really good to us. Nothing can tell us if there's a blowout but it's let us know when they are getting low or high.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-80735087133749950502015-07-02T06:41:02.286-07:002015-07-02T06:41:02.286-07:00That certainly does not look like a tire with any ...That certainly does not look like a tire with any pressure let alone 64.4 psi.

We've used Pressure Pro for several years, but it has false alarms and doesn't give temp as well as pressure. Bought TireTraker at Escapade in March but haven't installed it yet. Maybe we shouldn't....??Sharon Del Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743800968323230586noreply@blogger.com
