Ivan, tire question

are you still running those remote tire sensors that relayed temp and pressure info into the cab via radio signal?

thinkin of getting some for my hauler since i am **** about my tow righ while towing and a new set of shoes is in the very near future, it'd be a good time to do this

I've been running them, and I'll be the first to tell you they work great.

I never did end up getting a set. My concern was the BB's would destroy the censors. However with the inserts on those beadlocks I could probably get away with it. But good to hear they're working out well for Mark. I always thought that was a flippin cool idea.

SmarTire is the brand name of the sensors I was going to use. They got great reviews.

I'm running bb's in the tires on the Cap'n. On the regular steel rims they didn't need any balancing but I threw them in with the beadlocks.
