I left mine out & shut the light off with my procal. I ripped one out on the trail what a pain to change.

I know.... We had trucks/cars/Jeeps before TPMS. Are people really that lazy that they can't check their tire pressure? It's a stupid federal mandate.

How do you check it going down the road?

When I changed to 35"s, it was tuned down so it doesn't become a nuisance.

I didn't use the TPMS with my new tires and wheels. I used super chips to disable them.

I put them in my aftermarket wheels and it was totally worth it as my last wheeling spot they went off on the way to the trail. Found the tire that was leaking, swapped in my spare and had a fun day. was easier to do that before going on the trail than finding out halfway in that my aired down tire aired down even more and fell off the wheel!

I had them put in my aftermarket wheels when I got 33's. 9 months later I moved to 35's and decided to not have them moved.

When I had them in with the 33's, the light was always on because I ran them at 30 PSI and the sensors want 35. I figured I will probably switch wheels in the future and just didn't want the hassle of moving them each time.

I did get the AEV Procal recently and just turned the indicator light off (set to 0 PSI).

I had the intention of selling my TPMS sensors. I have 4, but somehow lost the 5th one. If anyone has one, let me know. I'd buy it from you.
