Rubber valve stems are a problem regardless of TPMS or not, I've had two fail before I ever added the system. One failed when I was doing a pre trip check of pressures and the other one blew out...

And that just verifies that not all blowouts are due to high temps. You didn't state if the lug bolts failed on the front or rear axle. In either case, when that tire and wheel came off they could...

The vast majority of systems use external valve stem temp. sensors that are much more affected by sun and wind than actual tire temp, either average temp or instantaneous temp. So another reason why...

These systems cannot predict the future so they can't tell you of an impending blowout. And tires fail catastrophically for many different reasons. If high temperature was the only cause, then...

I've done it in 15 min in 100 degree heat. Leveling boards and bottle jack under the axle right against the U bolt. Truck brake set. I use an 8 ton bottle jack.

Doubt there is a performance diff. Maybe to isolate dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion?

Now, what is the sample rate for other tpms brands?

Pressure Pro, 7 seconds
Tire Minder, 6 seconds
Doran, 12 seconds (implied but not stated)

So, for acceptable battery life it seems no one...

It is not for RVs, pressure limited to 87 psi max, can only monitor 4 tires, signal too weak to work on towed vehicle and no provision for a booster. By the way, sense interval is every 8 seconds

Or it will alarm in 0 seconds. Statically it will happen in 3 seconds and any monitor system will have some delay, with limited battery power sampling at nanosecond intervals isn't too practical.

You are right, sort of. TST says it transmits every 2 min. IF a sensor transmitted just once each hr AND the driver doesn't notice, there is no protection for that tire. I don't know the...

Again, external temp sensors are pretty worthless. Tire temperature info is obtained via conduction thru the valve stem, meanwhile the sensor is rotating thru the outside air at 600 rpm. Kind of...

That only means that the display values may not be the most recent data. If there is a sudden loss of pressure it alarms immediately, within a second or two. So, in your example the sensor would...

You may be right about 1 hr, I've never checked it, but then the probability of loosing signal on a single tire and that same tire failing within 60 min. is pretty low.

I will add this, having had...
