That does seem pointless. They could be cheapening out at the factory and making their sensors a simple on/off device that only activates above or below a certain pressure. Keep costs down and let the battery in each sensor last longer.

And, yes, the latter would be annoying, especially if you had a set of winter wheels & tires to put on. As to the guys who spend a few thousand on a new set of wheels and tires, they can afford to throw away a few extra bucks to move or have new TPMS for each wheel and get no sympathy from me.
