The idiot light is a PIA, the one on our Camry not so much as it does
give pressure readings on each tire so you at least know if the tire
is dangerously low or not. Now if only it could tell you which tire
was 5 lbs low. ;~)

Never had a vehicle with this much high tech until the 2013 RAM, which
has a screen that shows the TP of each individual tire (except the
spare).

NOT something I need, or even want, and not wowed by it, since it
looks like a other expense down the road.

Haven't verified the readings with a tire gauge, but the values
certainly change when the tires are warmed up after driving.

Meh ...

Just such a shame that we have to put all this technology into a car and
overcomplicate/over expense things, simply to make life easier for
stupid
people. I mean really - how hard has it ever been to look at a tire
to see
if it needs a little checking? How hard is it to back up without
turning
your head, or looking in three different mirrors? Next will come an
alarm
for the idiots that aren't looking at the camera display in the dash
and are
about to back over something.

Talk about fixing problems that don't really exist...

Ok - rant off...

Mike, what if this were not pushed by soccer moms, but by tire
manufacturers to cover their asses.

The firestone tires on the explorers that were failing...
I wonder if these are tied into the computer to show you have not been
taking care of your tires...

If you didn't maintain pressure, no warranty..

Just a thought.

Probably not, having been in the tire business there are obvious
indicators that point to under inflation being the reason for premature
failure.

Yes but now fully documented.
