Comparison of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems: TST 507, TireMinder i10, and TireMinder SMART App

[@traveldawg]

I agree so much with Tom S that I sold my TST and got the I10 last year at the Tampa RV show. I LOVE it!! All the pressures or temps I want to see all the time at one time. And the TST display is so hard to see in certain lighting situations. At least TST now offers a shade.

[@ClayAutery]

Thank you, Eric! I am actively lobbying TST to commission an app to add to their stable of products. I actually want BOTH a display AND an app. And I am considering putting the remote spare kit on it with sensors to try it out.

[@Technorv]

Thanks Clay. I would love to see that too. Eric

[@patriotliberty3070]

New subscriber here👏💯! Love your channel! Thankyou so much for this informative video. I'm looking at the TST507 for my 2021 36 ft salem hemisphere tt. What tires do you recommend? I want to replace all the tires before putting the TST system on. I'll be purchasing through your company. It's an honor to support full time RVers💪💯🇺🇸! Thankyou for your help!

Why didn't you put on the prices?

[@toddreimer1158]

Hi Eric, 2 questions: Do you put a sensor on your spare? Have you heard anything about TST getting an app? Thanks!

[@Technorv]

Hi Todd, I dont have a spare on my Class A. I do have sensors on my toad spare. If I have a spare, I would certainly have a sensor on it. No word on a App yet. Thanks for the comment. Eric

[@dummkompf]

is there any aftermarket kit that uses internal sensors like the oem tpms systems? It's not that hard to unseat one side of the bead to install the internal ones, and that way you don't have the sensors getting in the way of the valves when you want to air up your tires, which would be a huge hassle

[@dummkompf]

nm, found the answer to my own question - the schrader tpms retrofit kit is what I'm looking for

[@danwaddle2194]

Tire Minder also has the Flow through sensors. They also will send free batteries each year,

[@Technorv]

Yes, Dan. We forgot to mention the battery replacement program. Thanks! As for the flow through sensors, we were told by TireMinder they would be released in March/April and we will be testing them then. You may find them on other sites, but they say they are not in stock yet and won't ship until May/June.

[@craigtanner7189]

@@Technorv any update on the flow through sensor caps? I looked on your website and TireMinder but did not see any?

[@kerry4951]

I bought the TST 507 from you guys and I love it. Works every time and love the ease of operation and color monitor

[@phill4435]

There is no app for the I10? I was given the impression (not by TechnoRV but by another reviewer) that the I10 worked with the APP. I have a TT and want to monitor while away from the tow vehicle which is why I’m looking for an app. But if I need an adapter in the vehicle that’s a real shortcoming of the Tireminder App.

[@Technorv]

Hey Phil, I'm sorry you were given the wrong impression. We carry both the TireMinder i10 and the TireMinder APP models, but no, the i10 does not work with the app. You do need a bluetooth adapter with the app model, not just in the truck, but in your pocket as you are programming the sensors on each tire. Bluetooth doesn't travel very far.

[@phill4435]

@@Technorv I feel I should clarify. It was not TechnoRV that led me to believe the I10 supported the App, it was another site. I noticed however, that TechnoRV does not sell the A1AS which has both a display and bluetooth support (at a cast). When I found that the app connects to the monitor and they have to be in the same place, I didn't see much value in having to pay for both. I'm now leaning toward the i10.

[@garypabst881]

I’ve heard flow through sensors can leak. Any inputs on that issue?

[@Technorv]

Hey Gary, yeah there are rumors swirling about this. Always have been! But no, there's no validity to it. Typically a leak issue when using a sensor is due to a missing or damaged valve stem gasket, which is easily replaceable and should be replaced once per year along with the o-rings and batteries. Another reason for leaks is a valve stem issue. In other words, it's extremely rare for the sensor to just leak for no justifiable reason. Hope this helps!

[@richardbartello2053]

Eric, I purchased the TST 507 from you. When the monitor is mounted on the windshield, during the day, being sunny and bright, the screen is real dark and I can't read the numbers or information. I'm disappointed with this problem.

[@Technorv]

Have you checked out the sunshade? It helps on the days the sun is coming in and hitting the monitor. I have mine on my dash and can see it without the shade, but if you mount the monitor close to a window and the sun is at an angle that hits it wrong, it visibility could be affected. You can check the sunshade out here: www.technorv.com/tst-507-monitor-sunshade/

[@TomSpurlock]

Nice comparison. I'm surprised the TST system (which I have) can't keep the individual tire pressures and temps displayed all the time in their monitor. It's very distracting, and it takes your eyes off the rood too much, waiting and waiting for each tire to individually show it's pressure. It takes over a minute to cycle through all 6 tires on our RV. It could be so much better, if they would design it.

[@Technorv]

If you want to see all of your tires quickly, you can scroll through them using the buttons. We do this before taking off to get a quick look at all 10 positions.

[@patriotliberty3070]

Are you referring to the TST507?I'm trying to decide if thats the best one to get. Thanks😊

[@billmalec]

So, the flow through has a cap over the end of it and you have to remove that, right?... So, in reality what's the difference?

[@Technorv]

Good question! The small plastic valve stem cover is not necessary for the tpms sensor to function correctly. Many people install the flow thru sensors on tires that might be hard to reach. By removing the plastic valve cover you would be able to add air directly to the tire through the sensor.

[@topgun5399]

The tst is good BUT it does not give you all the tires at once. You have to keep looking at it and wait for all the tires to show up one at a time. The tireminder one look and it's all there. psi press the middle once and the temp is all there and in color. Auto for above or below psi & temp. Just set the the psi according to your tire and it adjust above or below the psi & temp automatically. It does the same thing as the tst for half the price. One of the best if not the best. RELIABLE!. I have one and it's great

[@ericdiekmann2308]

So which is the best

[@Technorv]

They are all good, we personally use the TST. IT is about what features you like best. I hope this helps. Eric

[@ronaldw.2923]

Which system has the LOUDEST alarm warning sounds and which system has the BEST visible screen in all lighting conditions (day/night)?

[@Technorv]

Hi Ronald, All of the units have a loud audible alarm, and a visual flashing light as well. The TST has a optional sunshade that helps with those situations where you may have direct sunlight on the monitor. Direct sunlight can wash out any screen, but the sunshade is great and we have little trouble seeing the TST screen. I hope this helps. Eric

[@jabbagna4237]

The tire minder i10.... Can you read the screen with polarized sunglasses ?

[@Technorv]

We wear polarized and have not had a problem.

[@georgehartle8902]

Eric, what is your thoughts on the sensors causing issues with rubber valve stems. Seems to be a devided topic.

[@Technorv]

Hi George, yes, this is a topic of conversation for sure. We have sold a lot of TPMS and we have always advised that cap sensors are ok on rubber and metal valve stems, but the flow thru sensors need to go on metal valve stems. I have run like this personally for a lot of miles with no issues. I think if someone with rubber valve stems had a issue it may be because the valve stem was not in great condition in the first place. Of course, there are one offs with anything, but for the most part, I hope this helps. Eric

[@rokguitarstar]

I just pull over every 10 miles and do the hand test

[@Technorv]

Wow! That's a lot of stopping if you are in a larger RV. Safe travels!

[@maxgelezni9620]

Useless

[@Technorv]

The video or the product? An RV TPMS has saved thousands of RVers from blowouts so I wouldn't consider them useless. If the video did not help, then can I help with your concerns not addressed in the video?
