Default Tire Pressure Sensors

What does everyone do? Do you swap your sensors if you put different tires and wheels on for winter and then swap them back afterwards? I run stock tires and wheels in winter.

Buy a programmer/tuner and turn it off.

You can either swap the sensors (which i believe is kinda expensive), buy a programmer such as a superchip or procal or have the dealer do it

AEV ProCal - (been out the longest, probably the most widely used)
SuperChips FlashCal - (much newer, and can be upgraded to a flashpaq tuner for an additional cost)

Programmers have no actual 'tuning' programs, but they have a lot of nifty features in addition to turning off the TPMS. Their websites will give information on what all they can do.

Tuners will offer some performance/mpg increasing tunes, as well as some/most/all of the functions of a programmer, depending on which one you look at.

I put the sensors in mine. Ever since my wife's TPMS caught a tire that had picked up a razor blade less than 12 hours after I had checked all the pressures and saved her from a potential blowout at highway speed, I'm a believer and run them. Also, my 13 has the upgraded EVIC that shows the divi dual tire pressures, so I now have a lazy way to check every trip between normal checks with the gauge.
