Horse Dr., I have been running the braided extensions since before 2000. I have never lost an extension or had a leak. I also have a tpms system on the tires. The hoses are pop riveted to the hub of the wheel liner and do not move. Marvh

Plus by rotating the tires around less chance of then being stuck to the hubs I would think.

I don't know about these braided ones. I went to CW this morning and looking at 15 Class C MHs and not one had the braided ones. All had metal extensions or Borg type. I'm not sure which way to go now. I may just try to use what I have and buy the TPMS. then see how difficult it will be to unscrew the outter dual sensor to add air. I cuurently just have a metal straight valve stem.

I saw those at CW today and they looked a bit long for the 16" wheels. Is there too much slack in the hoses. I guess if you add the TPMS, you'll know right away if they leak.
mikeleblanc413- did you get yours yet?


Nope...haven't even ordered them...I will tell you that prior to my original post asking about Wheel Masters, I had never heard of them...I was impressed with the most favorable comments...I was wanting to do the extensions and Bilsteins all around...I have four tires that have the Pressure Pro Tire Monitors on them...just wanted to organize the rears better...two are not with sensors...on Monday...based on recommendations from this forum, I ordered Bilsteins from eshocks.com...they came in Friday...on Monday morning I'm having them put on...then I'll concentrate on the extensions...I'm 95% sure they'll be Wheel Masters...I'll comment after I test the ride with Bilsteins...I've also...in the past week..replaced the springs on the Steer Safe...getting there...stay tuned and keep in touch!

Will these braided tire inflators attached to the center hub allow enough room for the TPMS caps from TireTraker, or are they too large and will hit the hub?

Sage, Mount them at the top of the hub.
