EEZTIRE T515/SP TPMS on Baystar

[ghoticov]

Does anyone have the EEZTIRE T515/SP TPMS installed on their Bay Star?

Based on how big the sensors are and how little space there is on the rear tire valve stems, it doesn't seem like they would fit. On the rear valve stem, the stems themselves stick through a rubber gasket and I can barely remove the valve stem cover with my fingers so I don't think a TPMS sensor will fit.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I do not have those type, however I understand your issue. You may have to have some new valve stems install that conform to the needed clearance. A tire shop can do this and it is not really a big job. In most cases the wheels don't even have to be remove. They just deflate the tire, break the bead, shove the tire over and change them.

Hope this is of some help.

I had those valve extenders on my inner rear tires and just removed them. I have the EEZTire T515 system and removed the outer cover on the sensors before putting my hand between the rear tires and screwing the sensor on the valve stem. When its time for new tires I will have the longer valve stems installed.

I've been looking at that system for our BayStar. Customer service has been really great at responding. I'd contact them and get their input/suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am thinking I just need to get the valve stems extended, just not sure when I can get that done. :(

I had all tires installed with the extended valve stems. I got the ones the truckers use that have no caps. Les Schwab did it. Took 10 minutes and all I paid for were the stems. I thought in all total was $18.

Oh really? wow. I have a Les Schwab right down the street from me so I think I will drive the MH over there and see what they say. Thanks!

Yes, I saw that on another thread....which is what caused me to start looking into it. Its a pretty good deal if you are looking for a TPMS set up IMO. I just need to get my valve stem issue resolved so I can use them.

I have the EEZ TPMS installed on my BayStar, and I had no trouble installing them, the rear inner tire valve stems are "short", I just had to use one hand to immobilize and the other to twist the stem.

I did experience difficulty trying to use the tiny Allen wrench for the locks. I did not use the locks on those two. I have the "Flow-Thru" TPSM gala tips. Hope this helps.

FYI: I'm going with the regular caps all around & no security covers.

I just installed the EEZRV T515 last week on my 2013 Baystar...I took off the anti-theft pieces and had no problem fitting them to the valve extensions....except that I have ordered new 135 degree extensions for my outer dual wheels as I had issues getting the sensors to read on the existing extensions...i think the threads were corroded making it difficult to screw them on fully. EEZRV suggested new extensions and recommended a source. While I'm waiting delivery I screwed the sensors directly to the valves (had to remove the wheel covers). They anti theft things would be a PITA to deal with on the motorhome but I did install them on the toad valves.

BTW...I did not use the flow through sensors, i figured the added size might be clumsy and the added valving problematic

Great system by the way.

That's perfect, that exactly how mine would look with the TPMS installed. Good to know I don't actually have to get valve extenders on them for them to work.
