I am purchasing new wheels and tires. I wanted to know if it is mandatory or important to get the TPMS sensors in the tires? I know that my stocks have them in but I don't know if I need them for aftermarket wheels? If someone could let me know that would be awesome.

 

Nah. I mean you'll have the dash light lit but you wont affect anything. I didn't put mine in my summer wheels/tires and just ignored the light. Just check tires periodically and I have a gauge somewhere in my car to check tires if they look low or goin for a long ride.

Thanks man i appreciate it, I don't really care for the light that much. I just wanted to make sure it will still let me drive without hearing some annoying ringing or warning alarm going off.

 

If you get someone to swap leds in the dash to a diff color they could always remove that light completely which what im planning next time my cars getting interior work

I thought i remembered your Tc. I was in the Super white one with tinted tail lights. I don't really care about the light so much. I was more worried about sensors beeping and stuff.

 

Just a tip: that light is very useful. I went on a road trip when I was running 19" Tenzos and the tC was loaded HEAVILY. (3 people and every square inch of the car packed with stuf AND 2 mountain bikes on the roof) I saw the light on the dash come on while on the freeway, I immediately pulled off to the shoulder, and by the time I got out of my car, both of the rear tires were almost completely flat. I had extreme camber going on because of the excess of weight and didn't realize that I tore the inside of my rears to pieces. Had I not seen the light come on and reacted immediately, I would have destroyed my nice shiny 19" rims. They were still in perfect condition. THANK YOU TPMS LIGHT!
