My TST system saved me once also. Pulled on to I-10 from the rest stop overlook at the top of the hill in Las Cruces. Apparently ran over a bolt or such. Shortly the alarm went off and I was at 40 lb. Of course JUST AFTER an exit. Almost immediately it was at 20, so pulled over on top of the overpass!!! I had about 1 foot on the right and 1 - 1 1/2 feet to the white line on the left! Yikes. I walked back about 50 yds to put my reflector on the side and when I got back to the rig, it was resting on the rim. Probably only 1 minute from alarm to flat.
After a wait, the repair guy from good Sam showed up and changed it on the spot. Took us to a parking lot at the next exit and examined the tire. Patched it for a spare and was on the way. Only went to El Paso before returning to Mesa, so wasn't too worried.
I noticed 2 tires were wearing on one side, so when home took it to an alignment place and got it aligned. The tires were a few years old, so I bought new ones.
Without the TST I would have been going 65 mph and running on a rim.....
