Many TPMS are unreliable, inaccurate and suffer from misreadings in all kinds of situations. I would not rely on them. To me they are just an "indicator", something to be viewed in terms of broad percentages.

Out of curiosity, what is the basis for this statement? How many brands have you tested?
TPMS errors and issues can usually be attributed to user error and/or improper maintenance.
Many (if not most) of us who use TPMS systems have checked their reliability by comparing the TPMS readings with IFR guns (temp) and hand-held air gauges (pressure).
To borrow a line from Ronald Reagan (who co-opted it from a Russian proverb): Trust but verify.
