TPMS. Necessary or just peace of mind?
Pulling a 31' toy hauler with an F350 dually. How important is it to have a TPMS? Just how frequently are trailer tires blowing out around here? This would be an aftermarket for truck and trailer...

TPMS's are for people that can't/won't check the air pressure in their vehicles' tires on a routine basis, as used to be the norm.
Unfortunately, those are the same people that won't pay any attention to the TPMS either, so one has to wonder what the heck the point is.
Sorry but that is very poor reasoning. When you drive for 2-3 hours or more without stopping you have no idea what your tires are doing unless you have some kind of monitor. A nail in a tire can lead to a very low tire long before your next stop. Tires don't deflate for your convenience only when you are stopped.
