I like safety features too. But the data is also presented stupidly. I wouldn't mind as much if my wife's 2010 Subaru gave the data on exact pressure. But all it does is turn on the TPS warning light. The threshold to trigger it seems to be 50 psi, but the LRR tires I bought her are 51 PSI. Exact same tire brand/model as the OEM, but the LRR version. The rated PSI goes from 44 to 51 for the LRR (which tells you a lot about how good the LRR compounds really are).

Swapping rims is more difficult too. You gotta swap the TPS sensors from each wheel.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
