I have a photo of my car when I bought it people commented that the tires looked low however no sensors were on within 3 days of me buying the car and with less than 200 miles my tire started leaking air and became flat I believe the pressure in the tires was low and no sensors ever came on and after my tires were fixed the ride seemed stiffer leading me to believe the tire pressure may have been low.
