Because I was bored


GIDAS data


www.ircobi.org/wordpress/downloads/…/2_3.pdf


It concludes that even if you increased grip, which includes tire pressure variance, by 15%, it would only represent a reduction of 2% of road related fatalities, which is actually within the margin of error.


While 2% sounds like a lot, GIDAS also shows that tire failures account for less than 1% of road accidents causing death.


So you’re spending $300 to $500 on a new car for a TPMS which reduces the probability of accidental death by 0.02%.


And fun fact, most tire related accidents are actually from tread depth, not low pressure, and TPMS will do fuck all to tell you your tread depth is low.
