Yup I would have liked to have had TPMS on my STi. I had my sidewall literally explode at 90mph. The tire had run flat but the sidewalls were so stiff I could barely tell. Just felt like a rough patch of road. Built up so much heat that it blew a 6" chunk out of the sidewall

Good thing you caught this

Yikes..yes, that would have scared the crud out of me. All I thought about was how much $ one of those wheels would have been to replace!!!

But made me sad to see my ZEE out of commission. It wasn't near the sidewall so I guess that is good. When I stopped at the gas station I had 14 lbs of air pressure? yikes..

Happy to report my car didn't fall off the jack thingy either. I was a bit worried. LOL

Gives new meaning to getting scr**ed, huh?

+1 rep.

I do have to give my husband some credit. He taught me how to do all this stuff so I would be able to do things for myself, long ago. I can change a tire, check my oil, all the basic car type things I need to do.

He also taught me how to use the pressure washer...and clean the air filter on his dirtbike...Hmm...I'm beginning to see a pattern here.....
