US Law requires that all new cars sold have a TPMS system.

The 370 does have TPMS. Nissan stopped providing displays for PSI reading in each tire in the 2007 model year.

All we get now is an indicator light on the dash if the pressure in any tire drips significantly lower than the other tires.

I am assuning this is a liability thing. In the cars that said what the tire pressure is in each tire, people would get confused about which tire was low and air up the wrong one (idiots!). Also, people should not rely on TPMS to determine the amount of air in the tires, but they were so Nissan eliminated it.

I really miss having that data, but TPMS is still there.

You can also tell that it has TPMS by the bolt-on, rigid valve stem...
