I'm finding in the 5-8 psi range on my wheel speed systems. That's plenty of sensitivity for me.

You really prefer TPMS? With all the added costs? If you have multiple sets of wheels, that's extra sensor costs. Then there's added costs every time you mount and balance wheels w/TPMS. The batteries die, they occasionally fail, etc. And the last thing, of course, is the fact that's it's just another government mandate in the U.S., a completely misguided, knee-jerk response to the Ford Explorer/Firestone problems of the late 80s/90s.

IMHO, no way is it worth literally hundreds of dollars to have a few psi better sensitivity.

Remember when cars didn't have any of these systems? And you had to look at your tires in the morning, and check them every week or two? What ever did we do.
