    I'm anal about checking my tire pressure (psi), and think Toyota adding that to your screen is purely genius.

    I run 30 psi in the summer, and 32 psi in the winter, due to the crazy fluctuation in temperatures…..

    I'm confused...what are you talking about...??? Are you saying that you think the TPMS screen that shows tire pressure or all (4) tires, is a good idea? There's really nothing about it to "use"...I check it from time to time, but that's all.

    I don’t use it, because I run a 5 tire rotation, and the system only accepts 4 TPMS IDs. In other words, I got tired of having to reprogram the active TPMS sensors through TechStream each time the tires are rotated.

    Lucky for me, one tap down on one of the steering wheel buttons, and I get the Roll & Pitch screen.

    Thank goodness there's a thread on TW with all of this info. I don't think we could find it anywhere else.

    I’m not using it because I don’t have the screen, I do the old fashion “does it look flat?” check.
