2007 gmc sierra

[alaska350]

so heres my problem. i bought a new body style gmc sierra about a month ago and its almost summer time so i want to put my old summer 20s on it. well this new trucks have a tire pressure system in them, and all the wheels have sensors inside them. i need to have two different sets of rims and tires for the winter/summer. i cant run the 20s all year because the shit they put on the roads will probally eat at the crome. i have a few options here. the first to get sensors put in the summer rims and have them programmed to my truck, but i dont think you can have two different sets of sensors programmed to one truck so that means i would have to get the seasons tires programmed each tire change over. thats like $100 a pop, not to mention the extra senors would cost around $400. another idea is to run with out the senors in the 20s but i would throw two warning lights in the truck(one on the DIC and one on the dash thats stays on). another idea is to have the senors that are in the stock rims right now switched back and forth each tire change over, but that can get spendy. around $200 a season. i would really love to just disable the TPMS all together but i hear it cant be done. any ideas on the best over all way would be awesome. please let me know your thoughts. thanks guys!

or you can just ignore the light? That is what we tell lexus owners whom decide not to run the sensors.

Lots of people I know have this problem and when the wheels are on that throw sensors, they just ignore it. Not sure of a solid work around ..

More imporantly though .. I wanna see pics of your Sierra with 20's :) Post some up!

Yeah just ignore the light or if you have a cap on the truck leave the wheels with the sensors in them in the bed so they are recognized by the TPMS even though you have other tires on them. This may reflect on your gas milage because of the extra weight but if it's in the winter then you may want the extra weight too.....just an idea......

haha, that's so crazy it might actually work. but like you said, it would be extra weight, although i dont think it would be enough to really affect the gas mileage. not to mention you'd also have them sliding around if you like to drive...spirited lol
