TPMS Sensors

[72&18]

I picked up some OEM wheels to mount some cup 2's for the track. Do I have to run sensors or can I leave them out?

Thanks

I left mine out. By the time you notice the sensor info it's too late anyways.

If the OEM prices for the sensors are what is steering you away, get the ones tire rack sells. They are made by Schraeder, who makes them for Ford. I use them. They are 100% identical to OEM.

I also have two sets of OEM wheels (Gen 1 and Gen 2) that I alternate between. I noticed my TPMS would fault when I switched to my gen 2 set. Do each have to be programmed to the car? They won't auto recognize?

I have the metal tire rack ones, highly recommend.

I have multiple sets of wheels and the car recognizes them when I switch. On a rare occasion I have seen a fault, but it was easily reset with a cheap Amazon reset tool.

The car will remember 2 sets of wheels. Swap them out and they should be recognized. Sometimes you see dashes, that usually clears itself. If it doesn't you use a TPMS reset tool.

I have two sets of track rims with sensors. I am a big fan of watching tire psi on the track. While they are not 100% accurate, they are useful to see and monitor when the psi's increase.

Agreed. I have 3 sets of wheels/tires total and all have TPMS and pair fine. I leave the pressures screen up on track as an indication of the tires warming up (or overheating).

Exactly! In my experience, tire temps are the only worthwhile thing for the driver to monitor on the track. Everything else has a computer watching it that's way smarter and can react faster than the nut behind the steering wheel.

I have OEM TPMS in all of my rim sets and I use a Motorcraft TPMS19 tool to ensure that corner monitor assignments are correct when the car rolls out of the garage.

Yes, tire pressure at the track is huge. That is what I monitor when I'm driving. The other stuff that you may want to reference is in front of you on analog guages (oil temp and pressure). Anything else is a distraction IMHO.

The two used wheels actually came with them, so I ordered two from Tire Rack to get a complete set. Thanks all.
