Completed my first 2-day trip with the EEZtire TPMS. First, the TPMS pressures were within a couple pounds of my gauge. I set the front tires at 130, Drive at 110, and tag at 100. Surprisingly, pressures during the drive both days rose from 7 to 13 lbs. i was driving during the heat of the afternoon in high 90's temps. is this normal?
Temperatures varied with sunny side about 10 degrees hotter. I don't recall anything over 115 degrees.
Another anomaly I did not expect, but finally figured out, is that my toad left front tire was 2 lbs higher and about 10-15 degrees hotter than the other 3. I thought maybe a brake was dragging, but then figured it out that the coach exhaust is blowing on that wheel.
I originally set the pressure high and low pressure alarms at 10 lbs. each way over and under my standard pressure, but got too many high pressure alarms, so I moved the high pressure to 15lbs above the cold temp pressure.
The plan is to identify a problem before a blowout!
All in all I love the system.
