I thought it was mandated in part by the Ford Motor Explorer Firestone Tire coverup.

I thank you as well uberwgn! Good read. And it seems I was fairly close. I never researched it further as I was just damn happy we didn't have to mess with wheel mounted sensors! LOL. So this summer when I buy 22 inch spinners, I won't have worry about TPMS at all!

Since this is March im in November, just wanted to give my two cents of thought.
I am a former Acura owner two generations.
Both 1992 and 2013 Acuras has the TPMS with the display of the tire pressure.
I do miss that but since Audi made the changes hop one day they'll display the tire pressures.

Was very convenient having the display to check the tire pressures than manual checking everytime i like to know if the pressure is down. I don't like the idea of waiting when it may be too late but to change the tires immediately.
