TPMS and GEN 3
I am looking to put together a set of winter wheels/tires.
The question keeps coming up as to whether or not I need to install TPMS sensors in the wheels.
I have been told by some that GEN 3 cars do not use the sensors. The TPMS is monitored by wheel spin/speed.
Others, eg. Tirerack, want to sell me the sensors.
Could someone answer definitively?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

Even our Vehicle Status menu is different, it says Flat Tire Monitor (FTM) instead of Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) and it doesn't show the tire pressure in each tires as well. I think it monitors the pressure by checking the wheel rotation of each tires when driving.
