Something like buzzer for unbuckled seatbelt has its merits. But TPMS has more cons then pros. One can use it if car is sold with it installed, but imho TPMS by far is not something that should be spent on to install later on. |
I think TPMS only exists so puerile ego don't pay attention to their cars(general populace) don't drive on low or flat tires. A low profile tire is ruined if you drive on it flat, even if only for a block or 2. I don't believe they were designed to prevent blowouts necessarily
