A tire pressure monitor system is provided including a sensor housing forming an internal housing mount chamber. An air inlet port is formed on a housing side surface and is orientated parallel to the wheel rim rotational axis. A sensor assembly including an air pressure sensor element is mounted within the internal housing mount chamber. A filter element and a gasket element are positioned between the air pressure sensor element and the air inlet port. A potting material fills the internal housing mount chamber. The filter element and the gasket element creating an air pressure flow path from the air inlet port to the air pressure sensor element.
