Your mandate for the use of TPMS is another example of government good intentions resulting in little benefit and unnecessary cost to consumers. I want to run winter tires on our Subaru and planned to purchase the tires on wheels equipped with TPMS sensors. However, the only way to re-set the sensors is to take the car to the Subaru dealer and pay $90 in the fall when the winter set goes on and to pay another $90 in the spring when the all-season tire go back on the car. The winter tires are expected to add a significant margin of safety in snow/ice conditions. The annual cost of re-setting the TPMS sensor will likely keep me from running winter tires. What is the benefit of having a TPMS system that cannot be easily re-set by the vehicle owner?
