Guess TPMS may be a "nice to have" feature, but for those of us who have grown accustomed to the quick visual check of the tires before getting into the car, it is something that we would still do even if we had TPMS :-)

Because of the very low profile tires, getting a flat while driving, especially on a fairly straight roadway may not be readily apparent to the "seat of the pants." Also: then when braking or turning, the compromised situation rears its ugly head (or tail.)
Another situation, which I recall being discussed on TV when the SUV rollover problem came to light, is that those vehicles' tires have a very high sidewall, and getting a sensor warning as soon as possible regarding a low pressure situation is paramount to helping avoid a catastrophe.

Re: Yes, me too. That pressure change as I drove the car was very interesting. Guenter in Ontario - 9 years ago |

I would be interested to see how peak pressures on the track relate to measured pressures once you complete your cool down lap and make it thru the paddock to park and then check the pressures. Wondering if the pressure drops much from peak...

Bottom line: I am going to live dangerously w/o TPMS and with an obnoxious warning. At $600 for a set, plus remounting and balancing wheels, about $800 total, I think I can live like we all used to w/o TPMS

Guenter, thankst for the reference to your earlier post. I assume these are after market sensors, but that is ok if they are good. I also assume that they are a newer type that screws into the valve rather than needing to remove, remount, and balance the wheels. Is that the case? Please let me know where I can get these units. Thanks, Bob
That would be good info/confirmation for all those getting into the TPMS replacement window. Guenter in Ontario - 9 years ago |
