No. No.
C5 Corvettes, new SLs, Lexus SC430 are a few new model cars, that have the tire pressure monitoring system.
It limits the choice of types of tires you can use, because each wheel has a transmitter and certain tires cause interference.
Also the transmitters have batteries, which need to be replaced periodically.

I'm not a fan of the TPM, because you have no way to upgrade the wheels. You can't go with aftermarket or even chrome the stock rims without getting a default in the instrument cluster display. I found this out the hard way with a very disturbed CL500 client of mine who order this option and then put 20" LM-5's on it and had to get the system deactivated so the "Visit Workshop" light would go off. Not wise if you are not happy with the factory rims.
