What matters most in a TPMS is consistency and its ability to see the pressure drop is its main job. Use a good quality gauge for cold air pressure. When going down the road, watch for fairly consistent pressures and temperatures occasionally. The actual pressure itself on the TPMS is secondary as long as all tire readings are close to each other.

I agree. I set the pressures with a gauge and rely on the TPMS to let me know if there is a big change. Pressures when running will change according ambient temperature, to how much weight a tire is carrying, which side of the rig is facing the sun etc.
