Can I buy a rim and install a tire- with no tpms?

I have 4 new oversized tires that are installed. I also have 1 decent used tire with no rim. I'm going to buy a rim online with no tpms. will the shop install it as a spare without tpms?

 

Yes.

 

Yep. My 07 didnt have any sensors on the 5 wheels/tires.

 

wow fast responses! thx

truck's driving great at 200k BTW.

 

Yup, tpms is not a requirement for the tire to be mounted on a wheel and used.

 

Every now and then, we are helpful.

 

No

 

The TPMS light will blink, which is annoying but you get used to it.

 

A new TPMS sensor will cost you about $15-$30, buy one and have the tire store install it when they mount the tire. Considering your truck is a 2006 I'd buy a set of 4 for around $75 and replace all of them.

The tire store may mount the tires, but if you're ever in a traffic accident that can be traced back to a tire failure you open yourself up to lawsuits because you disabled a safety feature designed to prevent those types of accidents

 

You'd have to kill like 16 children before anyone is going to dig into a crash investigation to that extreme.

 

"How many children were killed? 15 detective. Well, well get this mess cleared. This road must be open. Had it been 16 we would have a real investigation here!" LOL....

 

I only have a tpms in my spare. My other 4 sensors are on my work bench in the garage. Been about 2 years and no light. I know the light works cuz the spare was low in pressure and the light came on

 

Will a tire shop mount the tire? Most likely unless: Only issue I can think of is if you're in a nanny state with a yearly safety inspection that looks for the functioning TPMS light. Otherwise, you're good to go.

 

I ran only 2 TPMS sensors in my 2012.
I just held the reset button and the light went away after a few miles.

Worth noting if the sensors are on the work bench in the garage when you reset the sensors the truck will recognize them and think you have a flat lol
