It did go off sporadically when I got different profile tires and doesn't seem to have a problem running the spare donut.
It does go off when I swap front to rear and forget to change inflation, I always have to reset after tire position rotation at the tire place.

In my case the TPMS warning did not trigger and I came back to a completely flat tire. I wasn't a fault positive.
I can't be sure it wasn't just a slow leak but after the flat I read up on the system and found that it doesn't work below a specific speed. I think it was 25 mph. On this trip I spent about 25 miles crawling down a gravel road at between 15 and 20 mph.
There are plenty of time when wheels will turn different speeds - turns, wheel spin, bumps, etc. That is why the computer is looking for sustained differences in RPM
