Tire Pressure Sensor ?
Ok I have the TPS monitoring system.If I replace my wheels and tires that do not have the senors in the wheels will I always have a warning light for them in the dash?

My summer wheels don't have the sensors and they will blink for maybe 15-30seconds than stay on. After a few start ups each spring you won't even notice it.

Yep, unless you have it disabled (I didn't know they could do that) the light will flaxh and then stay on. The DIC will also display warnings...

Kind of what I thought, I understood there were some legal ramifications to disabling safety devices...

If your going to that much trouble, why not just buy the 3 additional sensors? I know there are some cheapo's on eBay...
