BLM Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ok. I have an SXT AWD with the 19" wheels. I want to get a set of 17" wheels/tires for winter. But the Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors add another $232 for a set of four and it sounds like these have to be professionally installed? The whole point of getting a second set mounted is so we can swap out or own tires (and have better handling/durability with the 17's), so having to have the sensors swapped kind of defeats the purpose. So, CAN you run w/o the sensors (on the winter set)? Does it cause any damage/malfunctions/etc. or does the TPMS simply not read? Or do we just have to cough up the extra couple hundred bucks for a set of sensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUGS Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 You can switch over to steel rims w/o TPM transmittors. You will get used to the flashing low tire light and the intial chime at start up. There is no harm done to the receivers as a result of not receiving pressure data from tires stored in your shed. In the spring it will be back to normal and a short 10 minute ride will automatically reset your TPM to normal mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
