So, I just got my tires swapped out today and I found out that I don't have any TPMS. Not a huge deal, since they're a pain in the butt anyway. Just curious, do the older models have TPMS?

+1. No TPMS and be thankful for it. Largely useless and trouble-prone feature.

This is great news indeed! That means my 2010 Sport GX won't have them either! :)


Canadian models don't have TPMS.

Super thankful. Saved me a bunch of money and headache too. My old car had them and when I switched rims, I'd have to clear the warning light on the dash every time I started the car.

So US models did?

Worst thing to a tuner/enthusiast.

My Mitsu has TPMS.
- can't remove and switch between OEM, summer aftermarket and winter rims because they're designed to break upon removal.
- They are about $75/each from the dealers PLUS install
- can't have more than 1 set programmed at a time. Which means even if you did find another set for winters, you still need to pay $90 everytime you switch back over to summers.

All this just so you don't have to take a $3 tire gauge to check the air pressure.

I think it's mandatory for new cars in the US since 2007 model year.

their are different kinds of moitoring systems. Mmanufacturers use the sensor style which is just a pain in the A$$. my moms murano has it and i have had to replace 3 sensors sofar. 2 in 1 shot and 1 more at another time. Mind you however the sensors were 6 years old and average battery life expectancy is only 5 years. Then their is the style which picks up the rotation of the wheel. Once it notices that their is a change between one of the wheels it triggers a light BUT the valve stems are still the regular rubber ones. I wished that the speeds had it but selavi.
