Find a second set of sensors, or use the factory set if you wish to not use those rims/tires, and install them.

Otherwise you can use an instant dash light hiding kit....

As of right now, there is no way that I know of to trick the TPMS. I believe Marco and Bob are working on this as an added option to the Smarty. We'll have to wait and see.

That would be awesome. Even with the system in place its a Pain....

Besides, most of us are SMART enough to check our tires regularly....

Even in wheels that allow an OEM TPMS sensor to fit correctly, often times the aftermarket tire/wheel combo will generally utilize a lower inflation pressure that works properly on the truck and makes a good contact patch, but will be below the threshold values of the OEM tire pressures in regards to light load / max load tables that are already programmed into the TPMS system.

I'm really glad my 2007.5 has no TPMS !

That what I was getting at Greg. Most of the guys on this forums do check there vehicle regularly, not just tires but all vital systems and components.

I was doing this long before Big Brother said I had too, and then annoyed me to death with a little yellow light about it.
