Flow Through Tire Transmitters

[dlkershaw]

Has anyone used Flow Through Tire Transmitters ?. Interested to learn your experience?
worried about the length extending from the valve stem and centrifugal force ?
Thanks to all responders !

Best to get metal valve stems as the rubber ones will move with those sensors attached. I had my local tire shop swap mine out to metal a few years ago when I added TST sensors (non flow through).

I think TST mentions metal stems for their flow through sensors in the install manual.

They will rub on the wheels and eventually the stem will fail and let all the air out of the tire.

Keep in mind that the rubber ones can have a metal sleeve but these will not prevent the stem from moving and wearing.

I just had the metal stems removed and put the GM trailer sensors inside the wheels.

I'd get metal stems for either flow through or cap sensors.
The flow thru are more convenient, but marginally heavier.
I have the cap sensors and find they, and GY Endurance, lose so little air I don't find myself removing them as often as I thought.
