The sensors I had in my Impreza told me within 5 psi.
Edit: my X1 currently has. 17" alloys with non RFT tires. I imagine if I have lower profile sidewalls and RFT then the system won't notice a leak until the tires are literally flat.

Really? I much prefer not to have tpms. Really limits wheel choices.
Regarding the FTM in Canadian x1, when I threw in 17"winter set, the sensor chimed in to let me know there's a tire pressure inbalance. I had to reset it. There was a ~4psi difference with the rear winter tires vs the original 18" 422 rears. This might sound abit old school but I check my car's tire pressure likewise fluid levels,pads, tread etc manually. Still annoys me that there is no dip stick.
