How often does your low tire pressure warning come on?

With the low profile tires do you have to fill up air all the time?

No, tires don’t magically lose air or you have a problem. Your pressures will drop some in the winter but it should not be a common problem. Fill once maybe twice and never worry the rest of winter

^^ What they said.

Also, if your TPMS sensor is saying to check your tire pressure, you may have to re-calibrate once or twice if you've validated your tires are at the right pressure. It's in your Vehicle settings.

But from what it sounds like, you might have a slow leak if you're actually having to fill up air a lot. See if a shop can check for an object in your tire now, to avoid any worse issues. Especially since most punctures can be patched super cheap, and are reliable.

Are the tires covered under warranty?

The only times my TMPS sensor has gone off is with false positives, and in cooler climates too.

Mine used to come on while I was driving but it was due to the dealer never properly setting the TPMS sensors. I thought I had a flat or leak but all of the tires were at the proper psi when I checked them.

Following the manual, you have to let the car sit for at least 3 hrs to let the tires cool down. Then go around and get all of the tires to the proper psi (I think it is 35 psi front, 33 psi on the back tires, but I can't look at the door jam of my car at the moment to confirm). Then turn on the car and do the TMPS Calibration through the head unit.

Once I did that, the TPMS indicator stopped coming on while I was driving. The temperature has ranged from 30 to 85 degrees as cold fronts have come through and I haven't had to add any air.

Ive had my tmps light turn on randomly on me twice in one day.. i pulled over to check the psi level and they were all fine. i also calibrated both times.. the second time, it worked as it never went back on since.. this is prob like 3 months ago tho.

The Type R has TPMS sensors? You sure? The other gen X Civics use an indirect monitoring system that monitors the rotational speed of the wheels. If they don't match, the light comes on. There's no actual air pressure monitoring.

The Type R has a TPMS system that is indirect monitoring as you state. Honda calls it TPMS, because it IS a tire pressure monitoring system. Semantics, heh!

Mine went on when the dealership didn't properly set the pressure right after delivery. It was still at 48/50psi. Take it with a grain of salt I guess with what happened to me. It is now sitting at 36/38 and been doing much better. My weather also haven't been insane morning to late afternoon, so that might be helping too.

Mine's been on since I swapped to my 18" wheels with all season tires. I really need to get my tire pressures checked, but the roads have been so nasty lately I've just been driving the Corolla every day.

I really wonder if getting a TPMS that sits on your dashboard with bluetooth valve caps are worth the stress in this case...

Does the Honda civic touring 2018 has those tire sensor
I would think that it does. The civic manual is for the whole civic family, not just the Type R. It will designate the differences by saying "for the 2.0 L engine models only" if it was specific to the Type R. It has the way to do the tire calibration with "models with color audio system" as well as a section for "Models with driver information interface" and "Models with Display Audio." You should be able to find your version.

The only thing that might be different would be the PSI that you need to set the tires to since the Touring has a different set of wheels/tires.
Considering the Type R owner manual is the 5-door Hatchback manual, yeah all of them should have the same style of TPMS sensor. However, the manual also mentions the TPMS only exists on the US versions.
