We have the TST stem-mounted flow-thru sensors, metal valve stems, and a repeater mounted near the propane tanks.
We've been very pleased thus far, with one pro-tip: if you are going to check the torque on your lug nuts, remove the sensor before you start on that wheel. Then, put the sensor back on when you're done.
During such an exercise, the torque wrench handle can easily whack a flow-thru sensor. Putting 110 ft-lbs of torque on a lug nut is more than enough pressure from the handle to damage a sensor and start it leaking. That's especially true if you have metal valve stems that don't flex. Don't ask me how I know this.
If I had it to do over again, I would probably have gone with internal sensors to avoid that kind of thing. After all, I had the tires removed and re-mounted to add metal valve stems, so I didn't save on tire mounting fees. In any case, we're extremely pleased to have a TPMS on our trailer.
