Default TPS Sensors

I have an extra set of wheels and tires. I also have purchased a set of TPS sensors for these. If I get the tires and sensors mounted and place them in the garge next to my 2000 vert will the sensors 'confuse' my readeout because of two sets of sensors signalling to the reciever when I start the car up in the garage?

Shouldn't...
I believe that your car will only recognize the sensors that are programmed into it. If you change the wheels, you will have to reprogram at that time.

There's a specific order when you reprogram. It programs that sensor to that wheel location.

Yeah, but.....
Can you have two sets of wheels and tires programmed to one car?
Say you have a set you put on for the strip or for show and another for cruisin'...
