Default TPS Simulators

Does anyone make TPS Simulators for my C8
I put Drag Radials on it and Low Pressure Warning came on
AND it would not go into Launch Mode or Bypass Traction Control!

Thanks for any help

You have to have 4 Tpms sensors or 0 Tpms sensors. No way around it. Pull the sensors out the front or add sensors to the rear.

I can put sensors in the Drag radial BUT I know best pressure on my 19 Z06 was 14 PSI.
I doubt that at 30 PSI they would be much help at all!!

I run 26lbs in my MT R's with no traction issues. Gotta love mid engine weight distribution!

I order TPMS bypass unit for my car on Internet.
They are from a English Co. and are listed specifically
for 2020 Corvette. Does anyone have any experience
with them?

Trying to not have to remove sensors to go to the Drag
Strip!

They were about $70 and have a on and off switch and run
on two double AA's with no wiring to C8.

We will see how it works = IF it works!

Way more convenient than removing sensors if I want
to race at the Friday Nite Drags!

Has anyone tried these?
