TPMS Monitors
That's really smart. The TPMS is a valid safety system that will alert you to a potentially hazardous tire situation. That's about as smart as bypassing the seatbelt buzzer in case one doesn't want to wear no stinking seat belt. My TPMS has correctly warned me of low tire pressures on several occasions. I'll keep mine hooked up.
Well, that's really smart unless You need the spare, and You're 60 miles from civilization...........then You're going to have 4 (or 5 if there is one mounted in the spare)
ruined sensors.......and the lining in the spare casing is gonna take a beating. I agree, they're there to help You catch a tire going down even before it's noticeable, so
You can check/have it checked for a nail or damage etc. AJ makes My point tho', I've seen it at the dealership a piss-load of times, people ignore the warning lamp just
as people fail to walk-around or stop and check their tire pressures. The difference for the shop becomes liability.................
Usually, it's damage or the batteries that cause the failure of these, some "bargain OE's" found online are "old"....so the batteries have been around a bit, don't expect a
long service life. If You live rural, and the roads are rough/unpaved for stretches, it is tough on them & can cause them to give it up prematurely.
I still don't know what vehicle We're talking about here.....................................
