Generally, while the readings are not perfect, I still absolutely prefer having it over not having it; it once alerted me to having a nail in my tire before leaving the garage one morning for an out-of-town trip; if it hadn't been for the TPMS warning, at one point I would have been stranded somewhere between Natchitoches and Opelousas... you don't really want to be stranded there...

I check the tire pressures weekly. The good news is that this particular set of wheels and tires holds their pressure very well. I even cross check the pressures with different gauges.
The onboard pressure readout is always 2-3 pounds lower than my checks at the stem.
Yesterday, for some reason, the TPC INOP light came on. I reset the system to no avail. When I came out a few hours later, the light was no longer on.
So far, I'm not a big fan of this technology.

Had TPMS on my Cayenne & S4 - I still have it (dugh) on my 911, A4 Line S and now on the Grand Cherokee - I WISH THE BOXSTER HAD IT!!!
Never an issue with either system - always check tire pressure with gauge - Love the system for what it was made for - telling me my tire is going flat!!!
