Researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute, together with European partners, have found that tire pressure sensors in modern cars can unintentionally expose drivers to tracking. Over a ten-week study, they collected signals from more than 20,000 vehicles, revealing a hidden privacy risk and highlighting the need for stronger security measures in future vehicle sensor systems.

If road salt is getting into your tires, and then into the sealed battery in your TPMS… you got other bigger issues. Maybe make sure you have all your valve cap isn’t broken or missing?
It didn’t happen to me, my car doesn’t have TPMS sensors, but a buddy of mine had the cap on his valve stem corrode. The corrosion borked the entire valve stem, and he didn’t find out until he went to get his summer tires put on. It didn’t leak, but the place charged him some $ because it was a pain to remove and replace.
