Default I use SmarTire, love it! I can check pressure while driving,

if something feels funny, I can eliminate the tires as the cause without stopping. Also, the temp readings help keep track of brake heating.

Default It was smartire II for sure, but it was not 6 second updates.

I kept the same panel, but got the new valve stem sensors and that seemed to solve the problem.

I also had one defective advanced display right out of the box, and the replacment would fire off warnings out of the blue.

So, it two years, I went throughL

- Three display panels
- 9 replacement sensors
- Seven times to tire shop
- 750 miles round trip to Tirerack
- About 20 days down waiting for parts

I WILL NEVER buy another smartires system, period.
