So do I. Unfortunately instead of using this issue as an example to demonstrate to those idiot drivers that tire pressure needs to be checked occasionally, the nanny state government kindly decided to mandate I pay for a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in any 2008 or newer car. I already have a doubly redundant TPMS. Stage one is my eyes. If I see a fucking tire is low I put air in it. Stage two is a fucking pressure gauge in my glove box that I occasionally use to check the actual pressure. The Government hard at work.
