Default TPMS & Track Tires

I have decided to purchase a set of non-runflat tires to use in PDX/HPDE/TT's. Do I have to put sensors in them? If I don't will the system reset when I put my iriginal street tires back on?

You do not need to put sensors in the new wheels. When you start to drive the car onto the track it will show a Service TP system message which you reset with the reset button. Each time you start the engine you will have to hit reset. Once you go back to your street tires the system just starts working.

Or you could just pull the fuse for them.....And then put it back later.
