It's a safety item mandated by some governments, such as the US. Therefore, it cannot be circumvented. You might crash and sue somebody. Firestone and Ford probably lobbied for this. I particularly like the improvement in valve stem technology, replacing tried and true safe valve stems costing around $2 with unsafe and unreliable TPMS valve stems which break or leak and cost $90. The warning only illuminates if tire pressure drops by about 6 psi so the tire is already unsafe before the warming illuminates. Stupid idea.
Tragically, the TPMS transmits actual pressure and temperature which could be displayed on the instrument panel in real time, which would be very useful. Porsche displays actual pressure for example. An opportunity missed there by an entire industry. Of course, if pressure is displayed drivers would have to actually understand what the readings meant or people would see their tires as overinflated if they drove at speed, due to heating. Sigh, an imperfect world playing steadily downwards to the ignorant and depriving the knowledgeable.
