Tire pressure monitoring systems
how accurate are they? worth the 300 price tag? Yes I do realize one answer reflects the other.

I had my TST 507 system alert me with an overtemp on my front wheels when braking too much coming down the mountains out west.
I also enjoy not having to check tire pressures in the AM before driving. I would not be without my TPMS.
I had my TST system in about 2008. It was the type that you had to take off to put air in the tires and the batteries were not replaceable. I'm sure everything has been updated and improved since then.
I thought I would enjoy just checking my tire pressure in the morning from the monitor but I would always find that two or more tires were low because of the sensors. Yes, the company stood behind the product but it sure kept me busy and that made it NOT fun.
Several of my cars have the built-in tire pressure monitors which are the best compared to the add-on's. Again, I had the early model and hopefully all the bugs are worked out.
