Anyone think those are a money saving devices? I just learned that
the sensors in tires should be replaced every time you buy tires and
they are over 40 bucks per tire.

The cost would seem to outweigh any savings from preventing any
improper tire wear.

"Money saving?" for a passenger vehicle? No, not really unless one paid
no attention otherwise it's possible. They are a safety feature that is
worthwhile imo; again if paid attention to when indicate low pressure.


So just ignore over inflated?


Well, DOH!, no, but it's far less of an occurrence other than perhaps
after a flat repair or the like.

The only warnings I have ever received were while on a road trip and
they were "tire pressure too high".
