Default ? For Those w/08's not running TPMS

Debating whether to swap the TPMS sensors from the stock rims to my new rims when I go to install them.

I don't mind the dash light on, but the ding ding would get annoying. Just how often do you hear the ding, is it only at startup?

Thanks!

A couple of dings at s/u then just the light, sometimes it forgets and the light goes out for a couple of days, It always comes back but it doesn't bother me.

Just curious why you wouldn't swap it over?

Buy a small lawn mower tire and put them in it. Air it up to 35lbs and stick it under your seat or somewhere out of the way. Your bell won't ding and you can lower the pressures when you need to.

4 dings at start and randomly when driving... it is the most random ding ever... sometimes it will ding two in a row sometimes just one... most the time it never dings.... like i drove it on a 4 hour trip and it never went off but then sometimes on a short 15 minute trip it will ding once or twice..
