The next time I change tires, I'm gonna have two sensors for sale. I have no use for them. I've had a blowout on the Connie at 100 MPH with no warning.
Well, no sensor will help with that. And yes, you were very lucky!
Such an explosion, the beads came off the rim. Yeah, I was lucky. But if a tire goes down slowly, I'll feel it.
TPMS is also for knowing what your pressures are- which is an excellent way to keep the tires properly inflated. I normally check the display right when leaving, and often right when docked when returned, so I know when it is time to add a few PSI. I would guess that the vast majority of people are not going to know it is 2 or 3 PSI too low just by feel. I certainly wouldn't.
