I need a set of 285/75x16 truck tires.
if I was keeping the 24’ Prowler trailer I would be getting that setup. But I’m going to sell it so I don’t have to pay for storage.Speaking of tires... I put one of these on my truck and trailer today. 10 sensors check each wheel every six seconds. Alarm goes off if there's any problems. No more wondering.

I had the TST setup... kind of a pain to run an antenna for the trailer... but did ok. Ended up selling it to some old timer... guess he didnt realize he's going to be spending some loot to get the sensors installed...lol.My local tire shop has the same or lower prices as tirerack and they give great service, better warranty, free air-up and cheap rotations. Call your mom & pop, local shop and tell them what tires you want from tirerack and ask what they're price is.

It was hard to drop $500 on "insurance" but I'm always wondering what the tire pressure is in all 10 tires every time I drive the truck. No one wants to go check 10 tires pressure before every run. A while back, I had a flat tire on an inner dually wheel and didn't even know it for a while. If a trailer tire went flat on my 2 axle trailer, I could potentially not know until there was a HUGE catastrophe. I don't wanna be THAT guy with a flipped trailer on the side of the road, 2 states from home.if I was keeping the 24’ Prowler trailer I would be getting that setup.

That must have been an old school set-up. These new ones generally don't need a repeater/antenna. Installing the sensors is as simple as installing a valve stem cap. Programming them is very straight forward.I had the TST setup... kind of a pain to run an antenna for the trailer... but did ok.

Thanks for the tip on the sensors great to know esp on old cars that you don't to bend over and check tire pressure all the timeThat must have been an old school set-up.

You can easily remove the trailer sensors and put them on anything you're towing or even on another vehicle, like a daily driver. You may have to reprogram the psi alarms for the tire pressures and tire temps.

Yes they do. Ebay.Thanks for the tip on the sensors great to know esp on old cars that you don't to bend over and check tire pressure all the time. I wonder if they make them for motorcycles
No pain for me. When I bought a set of 4 to install on my old 5th wheel, I bought a repeater. It was a little plastic box about the size of two packs of ciggies end-to-end. I put it up under the frame on the front of the 5th wheel next to the hitch pin.I had the TST setup... kind of a pain to run an antenna for the trailer... but did ok.
