This spring in Texas I would get 2 dashes for the front tire when checking tire pressures when first taking off in the morning. That wasn't a big deal because I could check the pressure with a gauge.
What really bugged me was the warning triangle would come on several times a day.
I like the safety feature of knowing if I picked up a nail during the ride so I did not wait for a tire change to have the TPM changed.
After the trip I rode down to KC and had it changed.
Half hour labor was $60 and TPS was $188.70 Total with tax was $263.20.
Our bikes were six years old when traded. 58,100 miles on mine and 54,750 miles on Deb's.
Car TPMs last longer. Deb's car is 14 years old with 65,000 miles and so far we have only changed one TPM. I was surprised the car TPM was slightly smaller than the bike TPM.
I was not surprised the Chevy TPM was a lot cheaper than the BMW TPM
My previous Equinox did not need any TPMs in 10 years and around 65,000 miles.
