Back in 2005 we were looking for a tire pressure monitoring
system that would integrate into our fleet that was cost effective and user
friendly. After researching other products I found that the PressurePro would
best suit what we wanted in a pressure
monitoring system. We have been using the Advantage
PressurePro since 2006 with great success. It has dramatically cut our OTR
cost along with increased fuel economy and extending the miles per 32nd with
more even tread wear. We implemented it across our fleet which consists of 70
Kenworth and Peterbilt Tractors. We made the decision to add to our fleet in
2009 and we brought in 45 new tractors. Tri Hi has gone to all wide-based
tires which cost more so it’s important we
manage the tires better. We considered different TPMS products
and chose PressurePro and we’ve been very happy with the product and their
service.
Outside the tire sensors made sense to us over the other
systems that installed inside the tire. We’re not interested in breaking down
tires to install sensors, we don’t want to damage sensors when changing worn
tires and we don’t want to break down tires when we rotate tires, too much
time and expense. We had a concern about theft of the sensors since they sit
on the stem but we’ve never had a sensor stolen in the 3 years we’ve been
using the system and they’ve more than paid for themselves.
We found we got longer wear from our tires and our cost to
maintain them decreased. Our average, miles per year on steers is now between
135K to 150K (was 90K before use of PressurePro). On drive tires they’d be
rotated front to back and flipped on the rim during the year before replaced
the following year with about 260K to 325K miles on them. Same on trailers,
about 50% of the tires get flipped on the rim and aren’t replaced until they’ve
got about 140K to 170K miles. We did no retreading on them during that time.
That’s mileage with the PressurePro system on. PressurePro enables our
drivers to detect a low tire and take action before we have damage to a tire
or a catastrophic failure. A failure OTR cost us $1,200 plus down time and
that’s if the driver doesn’t damage the rim. So that’s the performance we see
from the PressurePro and yes it makes it easier for the driver. We also have
a couple T-660’s, they have just fewer than 200k on them. We just pulled a
set of drives on one of our Peterbilt 387’s that had 298K on them with 8/32nd
of tread left. We pulled them because the driver had spun one of them cutting
the tread or we could still have kept them in service. With the PressurePro
helping to lower the bottom line we can be more cost effective for our
customers without sacrificing reliability. I think the Advantage PressurePro
tire monitoring system is a great tool and would highly recommend it to
anyone... pays for itself.

We own a 2006 Allegro Bus and in Feb of
2007, we added the Pressure Pro system to both the coach & towed vehicle.
On our trip from our residence in Florida to our summer home in ND, we had
not one, but two incidences where our monitor alerted us to tire problems.
First a tire on our towed vehicle had a nail in it and when we were fueling
up at a Flying J, the monitor alarm went off. The next day the outside duel
tire on the coach did the same thing. The monitor woke George from his nap!
Either incident would have been costly & perhaps devastating if we had
not had the PressurePro. Because of our experience with your product, we have
persuaded many fellow RV’ers to make the investment in PressurePro. The cost
is minimal compared to the cost of loosing a tire on either the coach or
towed vehicle. We consider the PressurePro our best investment yet!

Tire Pressure Monitoring is as important to
your RV and/or tow or toad, as it is to making sure doors were locked and the
gas turned off, at home before you left on your latest adventure. Your
investment in your RV and accessories is significant. Protecting your safety,
your family and friends and your 2nd home is a paramount concern. Tire
Pressure Monitoring is of utmost importance in adding safety, fuel savings,
and extending tire life.
PressurePro™ alerts to low tire pressure - allowing time for corrective
action during dangerously low tire pressure situations. PressurePro™ meets
the needs of a huge market segment, providing increased safety and savings,
all with a tire pressure monitoring system that is simple to install and easy
to operate. PressurePro™ displays current tire pressure and alerts to
dangerous, low tire pressures, utilizing both a visual and audible alert.

Wanted to let you
know everything is going good with our PressurePro product. The PressurePro system saves us time and
money by helping us schedule our tire repairs before tire damage or blowouts.
We find they are saving us on costly roadside service calls and costs as have
decreased late deliveries due to tire problems.

I am a user of the PressurePro on my 1998
Overland MotorHome with which I tow a 2001 Grand Cherokee Jeep. All 10 tires
are protected by Pressure-Pro which gives me a real sense of security while
traveling down the road.
Do you have any idea how much a blow-out on a dual tire on a motor home can
cost? When it happens going down the road, without PressurePro, there is no
warning. There generally is no spare tire in the vehicle. The service company
must come to you, bring a tire, (or go back and find one of the right size
and configuration is such is available, remove the old tire and install the
new one on the roadside). This can easily cost $1000-1500. But that is only
the small part. When a dual tire blows, it tears up the underside of the
coach ripping out air lines, hoses, paneling, etc. This can cost several
thousand dollars more.
Do you see how valuable PressurePro us to RV travelers and truckers? And when
the front tire blows, it can cause the vehicle to roll over, plunge off the
road or worse, crash into someone else. Serious injury often results.
Do you see how much America needs you? You have an excellent prevention for
such tragedy. Be glad you do what you do. You should be on the front page of
every trade and industry publication that supports the transportation
industry.
You have the product.

We are full-time RVer's and have been using
our Advantage Pressure Pro TPMS for about 4 years. We are writing to tell our
fellow RVer’s (and any everyone else who drives vehicles with tires) that the
Advantage Pressure Pro system works very well. We have had more than one tire
problem that the system has alerted us to.
Recently, while driving on I-10 in Arizona, the audible alarm alerted us to a
problem and the display showed that the right front tire on our 5th wheel was
losing air at a rate of about 20 pounds every 10 seconds. I hate to think of
the damage to the 5th wheel that could have occurred if we had not been made
aware of the flat tire.
Further, installation of the system is fast and simple, with the sensors
simply replacing the valve stem caps. Some other TPMS systems actually
require costly tire dismounting and remounting just to install the sensors on
each tire!
The system is also great for checking the tire pressures before starting out
on a trip. It takes just seconds to check that all of our tires are properly
inflated. The system includes an over-pressurization feature that alerts the
driver if the pressures in any of the tires become dangerously high.
Bottom line… the system is easy to install, requires no maintenance, is easy
to use, and works exactly as advertised. To top it off, the people at
Advantage PressurePro are wonderful to work with. What else could a person
want?

Kit Loong Tyre Management Sdn Bhd has been using PressurePro
and enTIRE Wheels tyre management software in our tyre management contract
for Westports, a leading Malaysian seaport, since November, 2005. The highly
user-friendly enTIRE Wheels have been actively deployed to help us track and
manage a diverse range of tyres for various port vehicles and equipment under
the contract, as summarized below.
PressurePro and enTIRE Wheels, complete with full back-up
support from Vehicle Management Corporation, has helped us enormously to
achieve considerable improvement in overall tyre performance and savings,
which effectively translates into significant cost savings. In addition, we
have also derived the benefits of improved operational efficiency, better
inventory control, increased safety, higher recapping rate, and easier
database management. PressurePro has
been important to monitor tire pressures of these expensive tires and
transfer this information to the enTIRE system.
A key lesson from our experience with enTIRE Wheels and
PressurePro is the need to ensure accurate on-site data capture in order to
capitalize the full value of the system and ensure longer tire life and
greater vehicle service.

I really must commend you on your product
and service. Thanks to PressurePro, I’ve had the pleasure of thirteen years
of “no worry of a flat tire” driving. I’ve had your system on my Prevost for
many years. Over the years I’ve had three failed tire experiences, one on an
inside dual and two on my tow, that could have been disastrous. The problems
would have surely gone undetected until too late as you simply can’t tell if
you have a flat on such a big rig. My PressurePro alerted me to pressure
drops immediately however, and all three situations were corrected before any
damage was incurred.
Some aren’t as fortunate. I’ve seen two buses with their back ends burned out
because of flats catching fire, as well as several tow cars missing fenders
or wheels due to the same – a very bad situation when someone is expecting a
nice vacation.
Not only do I personally recommend your product to everyone, I insist to
new-made friends that they get your product. Just recently, a guy in a camp
ground had to take his pickup to a tire shop to remove the tires in order to
get to a couple of faulty inside of the tire sensors – not good. I
immediately showed him my PressurePro set up.
Thank you again for a great product!

Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am
with my pressure pro system. I purchased the system at the Virginia State
Fall Samboree in October '07. Being a single female traveler, I thought your
system would give me some additional security while towing my trailer.
I took a trip the day after christmas, and your system alerted me to a
leaking tire. Since I tow a travel trailer, I'm not sure how far I would have
traveled before I would have know about the low/flat tire WITHOUT your
system. I feel your system saved me the cost of a new tire and quite possible
from being involved in an incident or accident.
I recommend your system to everyone that I can. As I have had it save the day
for me, it's easy to promote it!

I wanted to follow up with you about the
Pressure Pro system I have been using in my pickup truck. I love it. It was
easier to install than I expected and it has been working great. I have even
noticed a difference in my gas mileage. I had no idea before I installed this
that my tire pressure was as bad as it was. I had four different readings on
the tires, one was even about 10 psi low. Once I filled the tires properly,
my truck is driving better and I appear to even be using less gas. Now, just
about every time I get into the truck I find myself tapping the button to
quickly check the pressure in all four tires. It has also become a
conversation piece when people ask about the transmitters they see on my
tires. Keep coming out with cool products that help our listeners out and
we'll keep recommending them.
Stay Tuned,

Want to wish you all the best and let you
know that your product has saved me twice from damage to my toad. Originally
I just bought caps for the class A motor home, but then added them to our
2005 Malibu, which we tow. It saved us a mess when we had a blow out on the
road on the right front tire on the toad. My pressure pro monitor was the
only indication that a problem had occurred. Another tire showed up out of
range prior to a departure when I turned the monitor on, and I found a nail
in it. Got it replaced before we left. The Pressure Pro system was one of the
best investments I have made.

I used my Pressure Pro System on my 5th
wheel and Dodge truck for 75 days this summer. We traveled May thru August,
from Helendale, CA through Padre Island, Key West, Cleveland and back to CA
and put on 10,000 miles. The truck and trailer both had new tires, but having
the PressurePro System was still like 100lbs of worry off my shoulders when I
got in the cab every morning to drive. Just flip down the visor, check the
pressure numbers on all 8 tires. All good..... Let's travel. It was that
simple. No guessing if I needed to manually check tire pressures that
morning. Or while driving and running over something I could always just do a
visual check of the display for any alert signals, then relax and figure it
didn't do any significant damage. The reduction in my daily stress levels
went way down this summer.
When we got back I transferred the 4 fifth wheel sensors to my toy hauler and
took off on another 1 month trip about 550 miles away. At the end of my 30
day stay in an RV park I checked the pressures on my visor display, knew
there were no problems with any of the tire pressures, and slept great the
night before our trip home.
Just had to write and tell you what you probably hear all the time. I
wouldn't sell my Pressure Pro System for twice what I paid for it.
Just another happy
customer......Cheers,
Joe Albrecht
