Just sharing for the benefit of those who still might be on the fence as to the value of a TPMS.
Somewhere along the line I picked up a screw in my tire that caused a slow leak. Driving along Saturday I noticed that one tire was a little low, then later a little lower, until it triggered a "leak alarm".
That warning saved me the cost of a replacement Goodyear Endurance tire (
Local price installed, balanced, State tire disposal fee, and Sales Tax right around $160).
Instead I went to one of the local tire stores and got it repaired free as well as a free cup of coffee
For some darn reason, every time I buy a new vehicle or a new set of tires, shortly after I end up with something in the tire that forces me to get it repaired. From then on, no issues until tires are ready to be replaced.
