The sensors go off after a 5 pound drop in pressure. I can tell when I have a low tire, but I can't feel the difference between 37 pounds of pressure tire and a 32 pounds of pressure tire. The sensor would let someone know early if there is a drop.

I agree that we don't need them. But they can be useful.
