I believe with a 2001 and newer car this can be changed. May want to post in the C5 Tech section - I'll bet you get a quick answer there.

I understand the question - I just don't understand why.....
Many of the newer cars are starting to come with TPM's of some sort. I thought I read somewhere that the Fed was going to make them mandatory at some point stemming from the whole mess with the Ford Explorer and Firestone.
Here we are blessed with the vehicle that started offering them back nine years ago and we want to not utilize the technology. Your sensors could have easily been adapted to the new wheels. I think it's a safety advantage, especially with todays ultra-low profile tires, it's hard to tell visually when you have a low tire.
JMHO.....
