If you own a vehicle, just a reminder to check the air in your tires if your car doesn't have those sensors to alert you when the pressure is low.

@briankrebs highly recommend switching to nitrogen filled tires. Almost 0 effect from weather changes. Haven't had to fill my tires in ages.
Yes, it can be a hassle if you get a flat, but the QoL improvement is huge.

@briankrebs I just had to replace all of the sensors on our car because their batteries died.

[briankrebs@infosec.exchange]

@CyberSecJsmes Interesting recommendation. Question: Where do you get the nitrogen?

[teflontrout@beige.party]

@briankrebs @CyberSecJsmes Costco does it, local tire shops *might*. Also, if you get a flat just using normal air is not an issue, just worry about replacing it later when you are safely mobile again

[briankrebs@infosec.exchange]

@TeflonTrout @CyberSecJsmes Ok, I've never filled my tires with nitrogen, but I just searched for how and it says expect to pay $80-150 PER TIRE! Haha.

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@briankrebs And don't forget to check the spare(s).

[draeath@infosec.exchange]

@briankrebs one of the few reasons a consumer might have for getting nitrogen - much more stable in this regard.

@briankrebs Air thieves!

@briankrebs as a habit, I top up every two weeks. Having portable air pumps is awesome. Don’t need to rely on tpms even when there’s one.

@briankrebs Oddly, many consume air pressure testers are wildly inaccurate. This guy did an interesting test. Warning, his vocal patterns are... not ideal... but his test results and info is solid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHfv9FoPQnY

I do not trust TPMs to start with, but a shame the shop kept your old ones, and probably sold or will sell for profit.

@briankrebs
I have a 2022 and have never had an issue with the accuracy of the TPMS sensors. I find the little "stick" gauges to be hard to use and read. When I need to adjust pressure, I have a digital gauge which seems to work very well and agree closely with what my on-board TPMS reads.
Did the installer not install new or reinstall TPMS sensors?
