For what it's worth, I don't really care for them either, however this weekend that changed a little.
Drove 3 hours to an autocross site and stayed at a buddy's house. Came out and the tires seemed low, but it was parked on a curb, so I figured it just looked low. Started car, TPMS light was on, checked it, and poof, one was at ~20PSI when it should have been around 35.
Alternatively, if that screw that was in there happened on the highway up there and was a larger leak, the TPMS should have alerted me while driving those 3 hours. So there is some value in having it.
Also, I prefer just having the TPMS light off. Without TPMS installed or working, it's just on all the time and annoying.
