Cool. Did you come here just to tell us that you're proud to drive unsafely or what?
If only there was some kind of way to periodically check tire pressures.
No one does that. Nor is it possible to do while the vehicle is rolling down the road.
Do you drive without a LIDAR? Why, do you like to live dangerously?
If my car had LIDAR I would certainly take reasonable measures to ensure it continued working, yes.
My snow tires didn't come with TPMS sensors.
Because they're not mandated.
Just like LIDAR wasn't mandated on your car when you bought it.
TPMS sensors are in the wheels, not the tires. The only way they would no longer be there is if you had them removed.
