First, every system I’ve seen uses plastic sensors that attach to the tire. The battery covers tend to crack in the sunlight, and if the connection to the tire isn’t tight enough (easy to do) they introduce a leak. Then, the sensor can leak internally.

10 years of PressurePro. I did replace sensors after 7-1/2 years, not from leakage but for proactive battery changes.
Using a TPMS should mean a lot less topping off of tires because you don't release a bit pf pressure using a tire gauge. If you are using a tire gauge along with your TPMS you are defeating one of the advantages.

Then, there’s the batteries. With ten of them to change, I’ve found a couple that came from the factory with overly tightened covers that were

With PressurePro you change the sensor getting new battery, new technology and no seal leakage.

If you do get one, be sure to soap all the sensors to check for air leaks. I’d do that on a regular basis. Next, plan on changing all the batteries every year.
Ditto! Also suggest soaping the sensors annually when changing batteries and "O" rings.

Having never had a sensor leakage, prehaps the PressurePro Sensor seals are just better.
I would never two a car without TPMS on the car because something could happen back there that you would not know until it is too late.
Also, with dual, TPMS is critical as the loss of air in one of the duals could be disguised until it is too late.
