Tire pressure monitors

I'm sorry. I know this has been on here many times but I need to purchase a set of 4 tire pressure monitors soon. I want to do it right the first time. I know that some have replaceable batteries and others do not. I have a Montana 3475 and I would hope I would not need a booster for signal strength. What brands have given the best service?
Thanks for any advice.

Many of us have TST 507RV systems. User replaceable batteries. You can get them with standard sensors or flow thru sensors (you can add/remove air without removing the sensor). I am very happy with mine.

Ditto on the TST 507RV with replaceable batteries. Excellent and accurate and great insurance. Very happy with the product.

Had pressure pro before, went to TST for the flow thru and replaceable batteries. Only negative is with our truck and rig and the way we haul the cats I didn't need a booster with the Pressure Pro, but I do with the TST.

We have used the Pressure Pro for 7 years--just replaced the sensors this year. No booster for our 3475. Looks like you also tow a trailer--I would add sensors for those tires also--that may make a booster necessary. Pick a tire monitor that you like--but pick one. I talked to a new 5th wheel owner earlier this month--he had no idea what a tire monitor was. While others seem to be aware of them and have sensors on all wheels.

We have the 507RV system. We did not need a repeater for the 5th wheel. When we double tow with the 6x10 trailer it would drop out at times. A repeater solved that. We put the repeater in the cabinet over the couch on our 3150RL.

Get the 6 sensor TST system. You can turn the second trailer off on the monitor when not needed.

Thanks everyone. I just ordered the TST 507 RV (6) and booster. I guess with the motorcycle trailer behind it is better to monitor that as well as I can't see it while going straight.

I like the idea of the flow thru system. I have the older system and have to remove sensor to add air pressure. Also have the replaceable batteries which I like.
