Default Constant, real time tire pressure monitoring: hopefully improved blowout protection

Ray,

I have come to the same conclusion as you did vis-a-vis probable cause for blow-outs, and so we also invested in a Doran Pressure Monitor. I have only been using it for about 100 miles, but my experience is like yours - easy to install, easy to use, and a great early warning system. I was very pleased that the monitor could be mounted cleanly in my cab, and still reliably receive the sensor signals. Apparently some other systems may need an external antenna. Since the tires are small and relatively light, I had my tires rebalanced after adding the sensor. Both wheels required a weight placed opposite of the sensor.

So far a happy customer.
