Simplest solution would be to remove them when they play up and replace with normal valves? as long as no fault is thrown up you won't have the problem again.....
Just my point of view ....
I retired from the cops last year, having rode traffic bikes since 1994.... none had tyre pressure monitors, and the two rear wheel punctures I had in that time were both noticed at low speed when it got a bit squirrely..... And I'm still alive....
A bit like traction control... never had that either... and never fell off through lack of it ( managed to drop it a few times when stationary )
I agree completely. If a flat is imminent, you will notice the handling change. If you don't, you aren't paying attention. If you are paying attention, and feel nothing, and the tire goes flat, a TPMS would not have time to warn you before the flat occurs.
The monitoring systems were put in place as a result of the Ford Explorer issue which really had nothing to do with tires, but in reality had to do with artificially low pressure recommendations by Ford in order to meet federal vehicle height requirements, combined with owner inattention to tire pressure. Firestone took the hit the first time despite the fact the tires were not t fault, they refused to take the hit the second time. I own and use a tire gauge. Pressure monitor systems are an unnecessary luxury that should not be mandatory as they are now in automobiles in the states.
