Do you know if you can set the psi with procal?

I kept mine. I took them out of my factory wheels and put them in my Jesters with 35s. So far I'm glad I did. When I air down I don't find the ding and dash light annoying. One thing I like about having them is when I air down and air up I can watch the dash and stop the air up/down when the pressure gets where I want it.

yes. i have mine set to 16psi. I run two sets of tires/wheels and bought the ebay 5 for $52 and they are OEM identical to the factory ones on my 2014. At first I was going to disable the sensors but I actually like it when I am aired down because I can monitor the psi.

Nope, don't have them anymore. Have 17" Hutchison Rock Monsters on 35" for wheeling and 18" Sahara on 32" streetables for Daily Drive on my '13 JKUR.
'13 Rubi Wheels are gone, I ditched cuz the break. Made in China.
I am numb to the ding and light.
Blew my wad on wheels so have to wait on ding eraser.

I had my TPMS sensors swapped into my aftermarket wheels after going to 35s. I used to put my stock wheels and tires on for long road trips and swapped to the 33s I was running off-road myself. Now that I'm geared down I got rid of the stock tires and wheels (to small to run with 5.13 gears). The 35s are so heavy that I don't want to have to mess with them myself. The tire shop I use said they cannot mount non-tpms wheels on a vehicle equipped with TPMS any more due to federal regulations. Now with the 35s I can have them do the tire rotations and balancing for me (they do that for free) and save my back.

Yep, kept them on my 35s, my 37s, and just installed them on my wheels today for my 40s. If I had stock tires, I wouldn't care so much as I could see visually if they look a little low. With larger tires, they have to be way low. I don't want to check the pressure constantly and don't want to roll around short 10 psi.
