As an accident investigator, most all newer cars have black boxes. These black boxes will record the last 60 seconds or so of the vehicles safety components prior to an accident. What do you think happens if you got into a major accident and the black box showed your tire sensors were inop. It would then be on you to prove your tires were inflated correctly at the time of the accident, which you would not be able to do.

Does not the glarring bothering TPMS light bother you while driving at night? That would bother me more than a nanny.

Likewise, if I was a passenger in a vehicle that had the TPMS shining, I would likely not ride with this person and certainly not allow my kids in that persons car. You obviously have no concern for safety.

Having a $10 tire gauge in the glove box does not help you going 70 MPH and getting a nail in the tire and having your tire starting to run low. This could easily cause a major accident. Your $10 gauge will not help you in this situation, but the TPMS would.

Expert Answer

Choosing rims for a car involves considering various factors, and it all begins with determining your specific goals. For instance, if you own a truck, you must decide whether you want a lowered or lifted appearance or if off-roading capabilities are essential. Each choice has implications for the suspension system. Similarly, when it comes to cars, some individuals may prefer the classic appeal of large, shiny chrome wheels. However, it's crucial to understand that installing oversized wheels can alter the vehicle's aesthetics and driving dynamics. The reduction in tire sidewall height, for example, may give the illusion of a higher suspension and affect the car's handling in unintended ways. To make an informed decision, it is advisable to first define your objectives. If you aim for a specific aesthetic, you may need to modify the suspension accordingly. Additionally, consider the impact of added weight, as larger wheels typically contribute to changes in vehicle dynamics. Steering responsiveness may also be affected, with less tire wear often resulting in more direct steering. To visualize the potential outcome, explore online tools that offer an automated tire visualizer featuring various rims. Another useful approach is conducting Google searches with specific wheel brands, like HRC, coupled with your car model and the desired wheel style. This method often yields images from others who have already made similar modifications, providing a visual reference to help you make an informed decision based on your preferences and goals.
