Two points, 1, when your 'driving' you should be able to 'feel' when a tire is going low (on OEM tires, I have never 'modded' a suspension system beyond OEM and have no experience with how a vehicle rides when modded). I would think someone who knows the feel of his/her vehicle can easily tell when a tire is low while driving, I know I can. In the case of a catastrophic failure, a TMPS would have been moot anyway. 2, I have always advocated when people hack the wiring, that they leave a record of what they did OR return it to stock (the mod) before passing it on to someone else.


Relying on technology is fine until it lets you down. Like I've said earlier, engineers will make anything more complicated than it has to be because the person who drew up a specification never really thought it through in the first place. Keeps things a lot more expensive as well. Now, so many people have to have road repair plans, many cannot even change a flat tire (yeah I know we don't have a spare, its just an example of how dependent we are on others to 'fix' things). So, check your tire pressure manually, the monies you save ditching this crappy expensive TPMS system we all got stuck with, could pay for a few other things more necessary than this badly designed system.
