Any one use a after-marktet TPMS that has screw-on sensors?
Like these:

TyreDog http://www.amazon.com/Newest-Automotive-Pressure-Monitoring-System/dp/B00AMBQ7CC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_p_14

SecureTire http://www.amazon.com/Unknown-TS16949-Securetire-Pressure-Monitoring/dp/B0013DIJX8/ref=pd_sim_sbs_p_5

Pro:
If sensor goes bad, just replace it w/o a wheel/tire removal.

Con:
Must remove to check add air and can be stolen (unless there is a security screw, which is a pita for adding air).

I have not tried them, they would be good for on your trailer.

"The sensors weigh 10 grams each, so in theory you’d need a wheel balance but in practice we didn’t find any appreciable difference."

Thanks for your video. I was able to change TPMS sensors by just breaking down one side of the tire. There is no need to remove it from the rim.

I disconnected the TPMS module and light bulb and replaced it with these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GZPJXJM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie= UTF8&psc=1
I use my cell phone to monitor tire pressure. It shows PSI and TEMP. Batteries are easily replaced.

I’ve had something similar for around five years works perfectly. I just have to change the batteries once a year which is very easily done.
They also make units like this with six sensors, perfect if you have a trailer with run-flats.

I have the valve stem caps also. Have to remove them to change the battery and put air in the tire. Would like to drill a second hole and put in a valve stem to use just for these caps. Then if you have to put air in the tire, no need to remove the caps except to change the battery.
