Tpms is useful indeed, contemplating to install an aftermarket one.

 

Just buy external TPMS. No need install

My 15 yo coe car uses a very simpe fundamental method, the systems compares the rotation of 4 wheels to tell me tyre pressure low but unable to tell me which one 🤣

And in case any one like me cheapo has no pressure guage, go petrol kiosk , set the air pump to your rating, shaft it on the vavle of the tyre, you can see the pressure of your tyre on the meter the moment it starts pumping.

a tpms would have solved and saved you money for a new tire and also the labour to fit the spare on. 🤣

For small punctures I would have the tyre patched up. 

But when that metal scrap was retrieved out, the gash was rather wide. I was skeptical if the patching latex will fully covered up the wide cut and securely sealed up the puncture.

I use a steelmate external tpms plug into cig lighter. My own unit used for 8years already. Parents and family member cars used for 5years.  Just change batteries only. 
saved me 2 times so far. Started beeping like crazy when I drove off. Stopped in a couple of meters and then pumped up the tire, then proceeded to the tire shop. Only got my hands dirty hooking up with air pump. 
no need any spare. 
chances of a big blow out where tpms is of no use is super rare.
 

Never encountered any or know of any in all my years of driving. But have seen and ownself have experienced driving with a flat and destroying the tire sidewall. When the tire was dismounted, could see lots of tire dust inside which is due to driving with the tire under inflated.

My Mini also have that.

But I installed TPMS instead. More reliable

The puncture still at base thread although quite close to the side-wall so still patchable.

Going forward ,  i read that there are some tyres with a layer of sealant inside such that the when there is a puncture the sealant will immediately seep to the puncture and seal it off.  Now i am seriously considering those..
