Default C8 tpms

Is the c8 like the c7 as far as Tpms sensors go? Either run them all or run none?

I think the c8 will go into limp mode if the tpm sensors are not it.
I seen Emilia Hartford’s c8 had no launch control with out them.

I don't know, but if I'm understanding correctly, why would you want to run only 2 or 3?

No doubt if one tpms is not reporting to the almighty ECM. You will get a light. Witch will also bring penalties. Like possible limp mode.

Every thing works fine without the Tpms, the Tpms light comes on but everything works fine.

Don’t use launch control. I do road courses only. So my statement is everything I need works fine.
