Running Off road tires without swapping TPM sensors?

[stagger_lee]

Do any of you off road folk have an alternate set of off road rims and tires without the TPM sensors? When running these is that going to set off the main alert on the dash board (yellow flat tire with ! symbol)? Will that effect performance ie: limp mode, throwing codes? I haven't disected the manual yet though plan to tonite when I get home, but I have a feeling it isn't exactly going to recommend this and was looking for experience as opposed to GM recommendation. Dont mind a blinking light, but a beeping and blinking light I wont be able to handle all weekend. Thanks all for everything so far!!

I would think no sensor would set off warning light.
When offroading with the stock tires the light would be on anyway if aired down.
Also whats this beeping you are talking about ,mine dont beep? just the warning light.

I have only ever seen the DIC display, never aired down enough to see the yellow indicator up above that, and dont think you ever need to go that low. My DIC doesn't beep so I guess I was wondering if the yellow does that (I hear it does beep). I can always resort to throwing them on there, but I haven't bought them yet and I would to buy everything and be stuck with an annoying beep, ya know?

huh, thats weird. on mine both come on at the same time. Theres only a beep at the initial time it comes on and then once in a while, kinda like the low fuel thing works.

I stuck my BFG MTs on a second set of OEM H3 wheels I got on Ebay without the sensors.. It hasn't given me one single error message..

Of course I know other folks that have done this and gotten an error message a couple of times and then it went away and still more folks that have been living with the error message for some time now..

You'll be alright. You'll get the occasional SERV TPM message on your DIC but that's it. That yellow flat tire signal will not light up. No annoying beep either.

Been running mine without TPM for over 2 months now.

Thats exactly the experience I was looking to hear. I can deal with the SERV TPM message. Thanks!

Suck, I haven't mounted mine yet. I have the starmate though, and its a bit bigger and I dont want to block that much of the cluster, but that style is pretty slick. I wish there was a way to interface through the head unit and utilize the on screen features set up for XM, but with Sirius. I have ben searching but with no luck.
