TireMinder i10 RV Tire Pressure Monitor System Review

In this video, install, setup, and review a wireless tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) made by a company called Minder Research. TireMinder is one of the most popular TPMS out there, so I was curious to give it a try.

First, I give you an overview of what is included in the kit. Then I go through the installation of the repeater module and setup up of the tires sensors. I explain the various alerts such as high/low PSI and excessively high temperatures. Finally, I demo it in action, in the truck cab, and list my product likes and dislikes.

Likes:

Quality Feel to the Hardware
Easy to Setup
Shows up to 10 Tires on Screen at Once with PSI or Temp
+/- 1 PSI accuracy from 0-199 PSI
Monitor up to 20 Tires
Swap Between 4 Vehicles
Compact 3.15" Color Display
Long Battery Life
Power-Saving Sleep Mode - Wakes on Movement
Excellent Range and Signal Stability
Sensors: Small Size and Metal Build
Easy to Understand and In-Depth User Manual
3 Year Warranty

Dislikes:

LCD Display is Hard to Read in Bright Light
Requires the Booster/Repeater Hook Up
Display Quite Reflective
High/Low PSI Warnings Can't Be Adjusted
High Temp Warning Fixed at 167F (75C)

Conclusion

Overall I give the TireMinder i10 TPMS a thumbs up. It's a quality built product with  3 warranty and excellent company support. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive system that is easy to install & set up and does the job, then this could be the one.

I think a decent TPMS is well worth the price and, for me, a must-have. Not only could it save a pile of money and inconvenience by avoiding a catastrophic tire failure. It may also save lives. I travel with peace of mind knowing what is going on with my trailer tires pressure and temperature.

Man your voice sounds allot older then you look; You're sharp man truly appreciate your knowledge and real reviews.

I just ordered one of these units for our fifth wheel. Because I’m in Ontario Canada their system couldn’t process our address. I fired off an email to the distributor. They called me promptly and we’re very helpful. Thumbs up 👍 to this review and thumbs up 👍 to the gentleman that called me from The Tire Minder

I installed this model on my two axle trailer a couple of weeks ago, and I can confirm that the review by Ray is accurate. One tip I have is to make sure your tires are at the pressure you desire confirmed by a tire gauge. That will let you know that the sensors are accurate. During setup, I inadvertently setup a sensor in the wrong position; I had 3 sensors on "rear" and one on "front". It took another read of the instructions to figure it out. That's when I realized you can program 20 sensors per vehicle! Can't wait to take it out on the road.

I just installed mine on both of my 18 wheelers and it's awesome....so far(1 day used).

Thanks for the review. I have the i10 and have found it to be an excellent product. Product support is outstanding - refreshing to talk to a human being and receiving actual help. Many other companies could learn from their business model.

i have this and I selected it because it gives you all the information you need at a glance all the time without cycling... it doesn't require the booster if you use it for just a dually and truck camper

I see several comments on here about wearing polarized sun glasses that essentially eliminate screen details. I dealt with that as an optometrist for some 35 years and unfortunately had to advise patients to avoid the polarized lenses. Easier said than done since most of your over the counter sun shades are/were polarized. Personally I would have my lab replace those lenses for a non-polarized version which would solve the problem. If you've found a sunglass frame you can't live without, try your local optometrist or optical shop and have the lenses replaced with any color and density you prefer, but without the polarization.

Good review Ray. I had a TireMinder system when I had a travel trailer and there are a few things that bothered me about it. 1. It was consistently 5 PSI too low on every tire and it was checked against 3 pressure gauges that I trusted as being accurate. 2. Mine was nearly impossible to see when mounted on the windshield due to the glare and if I wore polarized sunglasses it was a black box. 3. When not towing the unit would randomly alarm showing all pressures too low which was very annoying.
Overall it worked okay if you could see it and mentally adjusted for the pressure discrepancy. My next system was an EezTire monitor like you have and so far I've been pleased with it.

Don't know if this question has been asked but anyway, I have a 35' Super C class Motorhome pulling my car with a Dolly that has 12" tires. I recently had purchased a Guta 10 Sensor TPMS (Sent it back) I could NEVER get the parameters to set correctly and it was always flashing a warning sign that my tires were over inflated and over heated etc. So my question is, will this system be able to set the parameters for my 6 -19.5" RV tires,
2 -12" Dolly tires and
2 -16" Car tires that's being towed.

Ray if you are parked for a extended time do you need to unplug the booster from the battery ? My 5 th wheel might might not move for a month or 2 . Just curious. Great review . Planning on setting the unit up this weekend . Used your discount without and problem .
Thanks Johnny

The door of my 2017 Cummins 3500 has the fronts at 80#. Do you reduce the front tires since it lifts the front slightly with a load? Maybe a difference in options

[toddmcgowan]

Seems like the form factor is on the small side. I like to see all my tires (including the toad) with both psi and temperature. That way I can see if there's any unusual trends going on while I drive.

Purchased these June 2021. Starting on the 1st trip out we had multiple times that we pulled over with one monitor showing low tire pressure. With that said every trip we have taken which is probably around 10 times now we have had a sensor issue. 99% of the time we have the pressure reading way higher then what they actually are. The last trip air pressure was showing 94 to 95psi when by our tire pressure gauge we were at 80psi. By the way to help confirm PSI my truck sensors showed each 40psi and that's what the tire gauge reflected as well. Saying that so we don't have someone say how do you know your gauge is correct.
I have let all the trips and the wrong pressures go on long enough. I called Tire Minder and they said that I need to do a reset to clear out the memory that the unit had stored. My question is why does it hold memory and show past why is it not always reading the current pressure for the current trip not a past trip. Tire Minder said that each trip out I need to do a reset to clear memory. I am thinking that the purpose for these were to always reflect the now value all the time no matter when my system is on.
So I felt like people purchasing should think about that when buying a tire monitor system. I am looking around reading reviews to purchase another brand to give them a try. I do not want one that holds a memory of psi.

I keep wondering for any of these tire minder products, is there any concern with the valve stem being bent from the centrifical force? Seems like a lot of weight on a plastic stem.

[amsoiltek]

Hello Ray, just to let you know I just revived my i10 but was unable to use your code, but they gave me a code for 15%. I will be installing them tonight. Thanks

[mikealbrecht]

Hey Ray, when you need to fill a tire and take the sensor off, do you have to go back to "learning mode" or can you just put the sensor back on and it would work?

[iglapsu]

Great review! Thanks! Helped me adjust the baseline pressure on mine.

[markolson]

With the monitoring units mounted on the tips of valve stems, I question the accuracy of temperature readings. Any thoughts?

[randyneilson]

Ray, do you usually use the TPMS built into the truck? Also, would you do a video regarding use of the exhaust break in combo with tow haul mode and cruise control. I have a 2015 RAM 3500 2WD to pull a 37' Montana High Country and love it so far. Just want to make sure I'm optimizing it's capabilities (and not screwing up). Also, do you change the oil and filters yourself?

[georgesneyd]

How often do you have to change the batteries?
