    When I used a set of winter tires/rims with TPMS, I used an ATEQ QuickSet tool to learn, save, and re-load the correct summer or winter set of TPMS IDs.

    i dislike toyotas (and others) insistence on black interiors. we were fortunate to find white in our '24.

    Given the choices, I wanted the tan/brown, but the area distributor seemed to be ordering & allocating mainly black interiors. White interior shows dirt too quickly, especially red clay dirt.

    The dark grey SofTex on the 2012 v Five has been bulletproof to stains.

    No grandkids here but do not expect any either. One son married and the older one still single.

    Inherited a 15 year old Prius last summer and dead TPMS sensors.

    $100 Total: four OEM sensors for $40 from eBay and Discount tire installed /programmed them $60.

    I leave it others to debate whether it is worth spending a single penny (or more) on tire pressure monitoring, however, I think it is cool tech and am OK with $100.
