What I do is I check my tire pressures before I leave for a trip. If it is a long distance, I'll check them again before I come back. So far so good. I try to make things "less complicated" if possible. In general, I've heard mixed reviews on pressure monitoring systems anyway. Some love them, while others think they are gimmicky.
How "gimmicky" is it to get an early warning of a slow leak due to a nail, etc., or to get a high temp warning from a sticking brake caliper or a failing wheel bearing. Any one of those situations can end up costing far more than the cost of a TPMS if left to fail completely. I've had them all over the years I've had the TPMS installed, as well as incurring significant damage before it.
