Maintenance/Repairs

My 2017 Honda front wheel drive CRV has 21k miles with two original tires each with 6/32 tread remaining and two new tires due to non-repairable punctures. After the first new tire, the TPMS recalibrated correctly. However, after the second new tire, the TPMS monitor system warning continues to come on after a few miles of driving after TPMS recalibration commands. In my first discussion (telecom) with a local Honda dealer (where I bought the car) service advisor, I was told that I need to buy two more new tires so there would not be such a tread depth discrepancy. I expressed my dismay that I would need to spend what I considered wasteful dollars because Honda could not compensate for such a common occurrence, but was basically told that that is the way it is. I later talked face-to-face with another service advisor at the same dealership who semi-confirmed the first advice I received, but suggested I have the same depth wear tires on the same axle.

Additional information seems to indicate that there is a fault in the TPMS since after a recalibration with the vehicle in park and the engine idling for a few minutes, the TPMS warning comes on for a few seconds and then goes off. However, after driving a few miles after that occurrence the TPMS comes on and stays on until recalibrated just as it did in the first paragraph.
What are your thoughts? Do I need to buy two new tires due to what I deem is a Honda design flaw, or is there a possible problem with the TPMS?
Thank you!
