I'm not disagreeing that a TPMS would be a great product to have. However, I see it as a luxury item only. Its not necessary nor should it even be a recommended upgrade over many more important items.
So which is it, a "great product to have" or "a luxury item only" that's "not necessary nor should it even be a recommended upgrade..."?
No, a TPMS won't alert to every failure mode (e.g., a tread separation wherein the carcass holds pressure), but it's one more layer of protection against a catastrophic tire failure, not to mention a dragging brake or bearing problem. Without it, you're flying blind insofar as dynamic pressures and temperatures are concerned, but it's each individual's choice to make.
