As much as you all hate on shit tire pressure sensors are the right direction. They don't control anything just display information. Use that information to improve your fuel economy and avoid flat tires and blow outs or don't. You can still choose to drive around on low tires if you can ignore that light.

No not true many manufacturers will make the car go in limp mode when the tps light comes on. Some even disable the traction control.

They aren't bad until the spare tire is monitored too. Now I have to drop it, pull it out, fill it, lay under the car to hook it up and then crank it back into place. The good thing is that its my wife's car and I don't have to look at the light for the next 6 months while it doesn't get fixed.

The other alternative is you bitching you had to go rescue your wife because she had a blow out from low tire pressure and her spare was flat.

Speaking of which why does she drive? Is your kitchen that far away?

Heaven forbid you actually keep the spare aired up

Yep. Proper tire pressure is one of the most cost effective ways to improve fuel economy. If I ruled the world, every gas station would be required to provide customers with free access to an air compressor

Many do. For the rest of us, $20 gets us there. The real trick is getting people to read the label in the door instead of filling the tire to max pressure
