TPMS is just another surveillance method. Check your pressure like the old days.

In the old days people didn’t check them and they’d run around on underinflated tires on the highway until they had a front end blowout and took out a family minivan in the neighboring lane.

That’s why it’s a FMVSS requirement now.

There are secure TPMS implementations, e.g. ABS sensor based systems.
