In the past week, I've had three separate nails in my rear tires. Looking at the tires, I would have never known they were low on air - they looked exactly the same as they do when fully inflated. The ONLY REASON I knew they were low on air was the TPMS warning I got on the dashboard, which saved me from driving on and most certainly ruining my wheels. Please please please run your TPMS - you paid for them, and with iForged selling TPMS adapters for as cheap as $35, there's really no reason not to.

I have 245/40/17 size tires on my other car, (no tpms) the tire was flat and I drove like that for a week before noticing. The tire looked fine.

Before, I used normal zip ties and that had to be re tightened every month or so. Now I use industrial sized 3mm + wide zip ties and I haven't touched the sensors since last summer lol.
And in between the sensors is just hard plastic, similar to PVC piping materials, or the contact between the floor and the leg of your sofa, bed, tables etc.
