Aftermarket TPMS

Only one of our 4 HHRs has the factory TPMS system.

I would like to get an aftermarket system for the rest. My kids drive them and aren't as diligent in checking tire pressures so this may save a tire for me.

There seems to be a bunch of systems that use screw-on sensors for $50 or so. My worry with these is that some people have complained that the sensor has failed and actually DEFLATED the tire.

An in-tire sensor system would probably be better.

Anyone have any aftermarket systems?

I’ve been fortunate enough to not have the system, Sweetie’s new ride will have them , but that’s as close as I’m going go !

I use the more expensive ones on my 5th wheel trailer by TST, but thinking of getting the cheaper ones, I do not believer they would be unsafe. I see the cheaper ones for $23 on ebay.

Look on Walmart for TPMS. I found GM ones there. Go with the in tire units. Your kids, like a lot of people, young or old never check or even know their tires are low on air pressure. So don't feel bad.
