TPMs and a low air alarm saved the day for me, and the cost of a new Porsche rim. I found out I had a flat at least 1/2 mile before I had to pull over. So I changed the tire on a flat commercial driveway instead of a dirt shoulder on a busy, narrow road.

They're supposed to "rebuild" the TPMS sensors when they change tires. The kit includes a stem seal, retaining nut, valve core and valve cap for the metal TPMS sensors or a stem, screw, valve core and valve cap for the rubber stemmed TPMS sensors.

Many tire shops it's mandatory and is either already included in the cost of the tires or added as a separate line charge.
