Default Superchips TPMS disable

Hi there fellas,
Its time for new tires and wheels. Probably going to do a package deal. I currently have wheels with the TPMS sensors disabled by the Superchips Flashpaq. Is it really disabled or just ignoring them? I am wondering if I could save a little dough and not buy the sensors for my new wheels. Does any other system on the JK get input from the sensors? I don't wanna stare at the warning light either lol.

Oh yeah, and before someone says it, I know I could take the sensors out of my existing wheels, but then those have to be broken down and removed, and new valves placed in the old wheels and tires so I can sell them.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Man I just bought new wheels and didn't care to put the TPMS in them, I just used my Superchip to take care of it. Really the choice is yours, it won't really hurt either way.

i just bought the SC flashpaq recently and installed the 87 tune.. what a difference!
my only beef is how difficult it is to update the TPMS delete option online. any tricks? also, does it need to remain plugged to deactivate or is it plug, program and remove?

No tricks. Just log in and make sure device is connected. It will tell you when it is updating. And yes for any programming changes, the linq must be connected until the tuning is completed

turns out i was just really impatient. tried it again and waited for it to complete correctly and give me the install confirmation. worked. just took forever... so accustomed to demanding everything "now", kinda forget we need to slow it down once in a while
