For the fronts 135/80/R15 yes 8oz. to 10oz. The rear 175/65/R15 11oz. to 13oz. http://www.ride-on.com/calculator.html
If you go with the TPMS option, this product isn't for you. It could/will damage that system. The low price of the Elio was one of my main draws to it. After going through the configurator, I was barely over $7,000.00, and that's where I'll stay.;)

Another issue with a spare tire is that they tend to be neglected. People often don't check the pressure -- back before we were married, my wife-to-be was going on a trip, and when I checked her spare, it was completely flat. And they don't tend to get replaced when it is needed -- most modern tires start to degrade after 5 years.

My car came with an air/slime pump, and I take my tire plug kit with me on long trips.

I am driving a loaner car this week as my car is getting some warranty work done. Yesterday, the TPMS system let me know that the front right tire was low. I pulled the air pump out of the trunk and topped it off. I drove over 100 miles after that and didn't notice any drop. I'm guessing it was just low because the loaner doesn't get as much attention as it should. The loaner s a Fiat 500x (mechanical twin to the Jeep Renegade).

my wife's 2016 Camaro didn't come with a spare tire or jack .... the storage area is there but nothing in it .... it has run flat tires .... hate the thought of having to replace them down the line

Big Spender. I'm going with the base model and no add ons.

Works just fine with my TPMS sensors ! :rolleyes:
From What I understand, it depends on what type of TPMS you have. Even the website says it could damage certain systems. Doesn't matter to me. I'll not be getting the TPMS option......along with most the other options. Gonna keep mine as affordable as possible.:D
