Well TPMS hasn’t been mandatory for over 20 years. But it has been since 08 IIrC. And only for under 10k gvw vehicles. Although I think within the last year it is or will be mandatory for larger vehicles and trailers.

My point had nothing to do with Tpms anyway though. But good re-direct, albeit wholly inapplicable to the discussion since knowing pressure in no way ensures it’s the right pressure, or even close, in all vehicles like class 2-3-4 trucks and vans.
