My one flat was a slow leak when the seal on the valve stem seal failed and the right front tire. A TPMS would have warned me of the problem early, and saved the tire, rather than when the steering started to get heavy and the coach pulling to the right. Tire was a year and a week old. The side the road replacement was $500. The TPMS was $300.
If the stem seal on one of the rear duals had failed I would never have know until the second tire of the dual failed, probably catastrophically. Get a flat on a toad and you'll never know it until you stop and look. By then no telling how much extra damage has occurred. Probably more than the cost of the TPMS.
