There have been many previous discussions regarding many different tire monitoring systems. Did you by chance try to do a forum search to assist you in your investigation??

TST over pressure pro for me monitor 12 tires.
Like the TST display better than Pressure Pro. LCD over LED(red) hard to read in sun when I had Pressure Pro four years ago.

TST here too. I like monitoring both pressure and temperature.

Another vote for TST. Like Ted, I like getting the temperature too.

I have HawksHead and it has worked well for me and will monitor up to 22 tires. I like that I can changed the batteries and the price was right. This is the website if you want to have a look.

TST here, they have given us excellent service, above and beyond anything expected! Replaced our monitor at no cost after I lost it.

I went with the TST as well, since it measures temperature. From what I've read, if a tire starts going flat slowly one of the first indicators of a problem is a rise in temperature, even before the pressure drops below the warning threshold. Also, since these are wireless systems, signal strength was a strong consideration for me. I read a lot fewer complaints about not getting a signal from the TST transmitters. My TST system came with two receiving antenas and I am using the small one on all 8 tires (not monitoring the spares). Never had to go to the larger antena.

It appears they all work well.. We use the pressure pro. Note that Pressure pro has been upgradewd over the older models. Had mine upgraded to new firmware at the Escapees rally and it now monitors temp as well as pressure.

We bought the TST because at the time Pressure Pro didn't have temp. We have benefited from having it, first time out. Sidewall split and registered as a slow leak. Pulled over before it let go. I believe the owners of all three brands mentioned are happy. Now it comes down to price and personal preference. I think TST was a little cheaper, but not sure.

I recently bought & installed the Hawkshead system. It monitors temp as well as pressure. It's the same system that Camping World sells.

I had my Pressure Pro upgrade by default--someone broke into my truck and stole the original monitor station. Either way--it continues to work effectively for us. It does monitor temp. I would assume the other products also perform the required functions well.

I have the Hawkshead system that does temp and pressure. Works great. Actually I have an extra Hawkshead system that monitors 8 tires if anyone wants to drop me a line.
