A TPMS will NEVER save you from a blowout.

A blowout is: the tire is good, good, good, good, BOOM, not good.
A TPMS is good for tires that get a puncture in them and go flat and shred. Only had one of those in my life in my life. Only felt a slight vibration in the steering wheel and saw a little rubber coming off.
Never had a blowout on my trailer and I have ran ST China tires all my life.
I think I'd take exception to that statement. A blowout is an explosive decompression of the tire. It can be caused by many things including a build up of heat, perhaps due to the tread separating. It gets too hot, and BOOM. A TPMS will alert you to excessive heat, perhaps before the tire goes BOOM.
