Default If I don't run tpms?

Will I have any particular problems if I don't install tpms's? My wheels were recently stolen and I can't afford to get the monitors when going back together. thanks

Its a SAFETY ISSUE! If you have RUNFLATS,, You need then to know when you have a ZERO PRESSURE TIRE. Other then that,, No issues. I installed them on my 02 Z and they saved me a rim when my NON RUNFLATS went flat!!!!!

If you have RUN FLATS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You have to have sensors to know when you have a pressure issue.

I had a flat when I first bought my 2k with runflats on it. It was sitting in the garage and actually was flat on he bottom. Sitting on the rim flat.

When driving does it tend to hold the car up? I've alway wondered but never thought to ask until I sort of hijacked this thread. But... It would sort of answer his question on whether you could tell if you had a flat other ways.

BTW, Bill... I love all your posts and have probably captured a million of your schematics!

You'll just have to push the reset button when you start the car.
