Cobra Trailer Emergency Brake Experience

All this brake/bearing/tire burning up could be drastically reduced by installing a TPM (tire pressure monitoring) system with a temperature warning. The alarm would go off way before you would see smoke because the heat transfers into the air of the tire quickly. Mine is so sensitive that it will react to the trailer rolling on black-top vs. light concrete surfaces.

What brand TPMS did you get? I very much doubt the externally mounted (screw onto
valve stem) ones I use react quickly to internal temperature changes. Of course,
if the internal temperature goes up, the pressure will go up proportionally, and
that does immediately show on the TPMS.
