TPMS for the trailer?

What's the consensus on these? I have a buddy that just put them on his toyhauler and he loves them....not only gives the pressure, but also gives tire temps. Wireless and reads to a display that mounts in the truck or I think to the phone. I can't remember the brand, but it was about $600 for 4 tires.

Just curious.....on a side note, thinking of pulling the trigger on some Goodyear Endurance tires. It's been 4 years and China bombs scare me. I'm wondering if there will be much of a difference going from Load range C to D. I know one person that put them one and really like them, but says it's now takes more braking effort to stop the tow combo due to less rolling resistance when coasting and de-accelerating. Is that even possible? (the harder to stop now). Known the person for a long time, so I tend to believe them. Other feedback from them is that the trailer rides significantly stiffer, which of course makes sense, but is that what we want for our cargo? Have to believe better tire= better ride?

I was going to say I have the cheap ones and they suck. I couldn't get them to read this year. The high dollar ones might be nice. If your changing the tires that is the time to do it.
I have endurance and they are very nice. Can I feel everything he's taking about no. He's crazy if he thinks it takes more to stop it. I need what he's smoking or drinking. It's in his head. That's all I'm saying.
Ride yes it will ride and pull diff. Will you notice it maybe. Unless you go to a trk tire I think this is the best option to go with.

I tend to agree with you on this one BBP....yes, he is imagining things...then again, this wouldn't be the first time he's been a little overboard. Pretty sure he's not smoking anything, but I know from experience, a $300 bottle of scotch is not out of the question! THe system he went with supposedly screws on to the valve stems. I haven't seen it yet.

The only good thing about this system is it will let you know if your watching it after all the damage is done. When your tire goes flat on the hwy it's too late damage done. Sure it is easier to check your tire pressure before you head out but really 1 minute and you can have all 4 tires checked with a guage. Saves 600 bucks for 2 bottles of scotch. Lol
