Horses are valuable animals!  Check out PressurePro for monitoring your tires on horse trailers as well as trucks, cars and RVs.  You can even check your tires while driving down the road!  But you'll also get an alarm when tire pressure is low--a great safety feature!

Thanks, but we had that ad a while ago.
The concencus seems to be that pop out caps are the best value.

Can you check popout caps going 75 mph at night??? I love my Pressure Pro and this is not an ad, just a comment! It has alerted me 3 times this year alone and gave me time to get off the road safely as soon as the psi was low which saved the tires.

Exactly my sentiments! Until you've lost a tire at night and not realized it until some hours later when your filling up with gas....then your heart jumps in your throat thinking about the last couple hours going 70 mph on a major interstate with only one tire on the ditch side.

Seems you've had that experience - and as you say, a couple of hours later...

I'm demonstrating Pressure Pro on the Hart tour along with other new technology, come by and see it at the OK world show. What amazes me is how many folks loose a complete wheel and don't know it. Torsion axles are great at keeping you going without knowing about flats or missing wheels. Pressure Pro will beep at you when a wheel comes off. Radial tires are good at going with many nails in them too. But that's the problem, checking tires before you leave on a trip is smart, but a few miles later, that slow leak can get larger. As the press release from Us Rider states, the majority of trailer accidents come from tire problems. I whip the trailer to check tires, but you can't always see the rear tires and that's not a good practice for horse trailers. Then I night I always worry about the trailer tires.

Of course in reviews I get alot of toys for free, but this is a product I'd buy. I think it's important to the trailer industry. We're seeing larger and longer LQ trailers each year, and most of them still tandem axles. Stop by the "Big Red" trailer at the World show and I'll tell you the story of aircraft tires. Did you know a Boeing 747 has the same amount of tires as a 18 wheeler truck? But instead of 4000#'s per tire, they carry 40,000#'s and drag race to 200 miles an hour in a mile.
