My VW Golf has ABS based tire pressure monitoring and for the most part it works. The disadvantage is that it can only tell you if one tire is flat. If they all get slowly flat over time there won't be a significant discrepancy between tires and they will not trigger any warning.

I consider that a worthy tradeoff though, I can just check the pressure once in a while and I get to save money on my winter wheel set.
