I have the Tire Minder system like this
https://mechanicguides.com/best-tire-pressure-systems/ and have had it from day one. Currently my TPMS is monitoring all 12 tires. No do not have metal stems. Has saved me already once in the mountains of WV. Warned me in enough time to get off road in a safe place.. Personally I think these system are a must!
As far as which one, pick one that matches your concerns, do want one that continues flashing data on its screen regarding tire pressure and temperature or do you want on to be alerted only when there is monitored data outside of preset ranges. Hardwired or not. Large screens or cigarette size monitors, etc.
I usually have enough things to do watching the idiots on the road so I am really not interested in the exact pressure and/or temp of each of the 12 tires. Only after I am alarmed that a tire's parameters was exceeded presets am I interested in that tires current parameters. That is my requirements for a TPMS, read others option in past threads/posts.
Do I care that tire reading do not match my hand held tire gauge? NO
DO I use them to air up the tires? NO
In general I am mainly interested in monitoring changes in temp or pressure. Once alarmed now I want to now current parameters.
Added: Yes, I use the booster, came with my initial package. You can try it with out, if communications is lost between the tire transmitter and monitor you will be alerted. Obviously if this happens I suggest adding the booster.
