I got a set of 4 winter tires I will put on this fall without sensors . Do I have to look at orange light on dash all winter or is there some how I can shut tire sensor off for the winter ? I really do not want to try and get sensor on 16 inch steel rim with 10 ply tires.
Might be away around this that I don't know about.
I'm sure other have came cross this .
Any info be great ..

You could dismantle instrumwnt cluster and disconnect or cover up light. Otherwise, nothing else I can think of aside from installing sensors. They are pretty cheap and not terrible bad to have. Although I never calibrate mine so my light is always on lol

you can strap them to the center of the rim with a basic hose clamp of the proper size

Thank God I don't have tpms on my 03. Just curious tho--where to buy and how much? I hit the ebay link and it's not found there(the link).
Search EBay for tpms delete emulator they’re on the Canada EBay. Not sure why the link is broken. They’re about $100 shipped so in reality you can buy ACDelco sensors for not much more. Plus Im not sure if your insurance will deny any accident claims since they state they’re for off-road use only and they disable a federally mandated safety feature.

At $100 I can just buy set tire sensors $145 do they fit the 16x6.5 steel rim ? Then I would have sensors .

The sensors are part of the valve stem and will install in any wheel. They don’t need an extra hole in the rim like others.

I put AC Delco tpms sensors in these billets with these tires without straps or anything, so you can put them in any wheel.

they sell strap kits to mount the senors to the center of the rim, that way they can go on any make/brand/model of wheel

That's pretty awesome so you just mount to hole bracket inside rim . That changes everything nice. But now I need a set of sensors . I have 2006 Yukon XL any recommendations on which set to use because these are truck tires were at 80 psi when towing is there a set that go that high. And remember it's 6.5 inch wide rim .

After doing a search and cost of sensors I think that Amber tire light will be just fine on the cluster.[emoji106] I Only have towing tires on about 4 months out of the year . Maybe I can put them on later .I seen the cheapest high pressure sensors 80 psi was $90 with questionable reviews on Amazon . [emoji15][emoji849][emoji41][emoji106]
