The advantage of this system is that it provides an automatic warning of your tire pressure. You might then think that you don't have to go to the service station every month because the TPMS is there to tell you when it's time to reinflate your tires. But that's not what we recommend.
The TPMS has one drawback: it only activates when your tires have lost 20% of their air, which is about 0.4 bar on average.
Why is this a problem?
Because it is considered that at this pressure level the tire is already under-inflated and it is known that an under-inflated tire leads to premature wear. If your tire wears out prematurely, it will have to be replaced earlier than expected. That means extra costs.
As handy as this indicator is, it is still recommended to check your tire pressure once a month to avoid having to replace your tires prematurely.
