We tried to balance a tire with the beads in them. We couldn't. It messes up the readings. I think that is why they say to remove all the weights.

That's interesting.
I would have thought you would be able to balance with beads in.

I don't know. I just found them. In one of the descriptions it sets off a alarm for temperature and one for pressure loss in a certain about of time.
I think this is a great idea. If you don't want it on your phone they got one that plugs in to your accessory plug. And has the read out showing the pressures. All good stuff.

BBP make sure you check the range on those things. A lot of add-on TPMS systems for cars don't have the range to work on a trailer with the receiver inside the tow vehicle. The system I put on is designed for cars, and kinda works ok for the trailer, although I think I'm right on the edge of the range because the pressure and temps only update once every 5-10 minutes. That's fine for slow leaks but it may not help (and may give false sense of security) for blowouts or larger leaks.

Here's the one I got for reference:

I saw those too. It's going to take some research. Thanks for the heads up.

If you find something good let me know, I may be up for replacing the ones I have with something that updates quicker.

It might be a expensive tire pressure guage but I would use it just for that In the worse case scenario.

They don't and they won't. I'm not changing the suburban rims from the factory ones.

I think they will look good. What size are they? What size tires are going on them? Is it gunmetal gray or black?
