What did you do to get TPMS?
There is quite a distance. TM is 20', plus car is another 16'. Assuming that tires are about in the middle of TM, and TPMS receiver will be in the middle of the car, it is 10'+8'=18' distance from TM tires to TPMS receiver in the car.
Just curios...

The TPMS I have is made by TST (Truck System Technologies). It seems to work pretty well. And, thx for sending link earlier but I still haven't figured out mph for my trailer tires.

The leading indicator of "ST" in the size code means "Special Trailer". As Padgett says, trailer tires - those whose size starts with "ST", such as ST225-75R15 - are rated at 65 mph max. I have heard of exceptions, but have never seen or confirmed one. If there is an exception, the tire manufacturer's web site should specifically spell it out.
Note that the ST nomenclature is not the same as the European speed rating nomenclature. The fact that there is an "S" at the beginning of the size code DOES NOT mean that the tire has an "S" speed rating.

I was wrong - trailer tires are apparently different, there is no speed rating in it's code as on passenger car's tires. Only load rating.

Thx, I'll assume max of 65 mph on my Maxxis tires then.
