Recommended standalone TPMS for weekend wheels?
Well not technically weekend wheels... but I have 3 sets of wheels and I'm changing them pretty often when climate is unstable so it doesn't make much sense for me to use OEM reprogrammable TPMS for any of them apart from the most summer ones and the most winter ones. Between summer/autumn or winter/autumn I'm sometimes changing like once a week or every two weeks because they're quite specific. And recently one of those wheel exploded because it got punctured and I lost pressure and kept going a bit too long (you could argue how is it possible that I didn't feel it but when you use some fancy wet track tires they have quite high vibrations even during normal operation already so when I felt something is wrong it was already way too late).
As such I'm looking for some standalone TPMS system with screen for that 3rd set of wheels that wouldn't require reprogramming all the time. There's quite a lot of such cheap chinese systems for like 50$ but well... I'm looking for something a bit less of an aliexpress / dollar store deal. At the same time I'm probably not looking for some ultra pro 5k usd system. My budget is lets say something around 200-500$, though it's not fixed budget. In this price I'd expect possibly reliable pressure measurement. Temperature would be "nice to have" but I'm aware those non-ultra-pro TPMS systems may have some precision issues with temperature measurements so it's not must-have for me. Any recommendations? |

I understand the lure of the data a real time display would provide, I’m just not willing to spend any money to get it. And I’m not clear how going HAM on it with sensors and screens solve the nagging light issue. My wife’s Camry will display each tires pressure but it’s not synced to which corner of the car the tire is on. It’s useful in that when I get lax about keeping up with her car and she feels like it’s becoming a bigger pig, she can wart me to air up the tires and throw a number at me. But, I’m usually ahead of that curve. That, of course, is just me. Different folks - different strokes.

Personally my disdain for TPMS couldn't get any worse and I wish manufacturers would use the current honda method of comparing wheel speeds but what can ya do.

Mind linking what set you are running? I have been thinking about doing this. Plus the tire shop is getting suspicious when I drop off my track wheels and tell them it is for an 85' Chevy Celebrity.
