Just curious. A lot of you guys are running aftermarket wheels and tires on your trucks. How many of you had the tire pressure sensor installed on your new rims. Other than the warning light is there anything wrong with not having the sensors. I'm thinking about buying new wheels. I check my tires pretty often, so do I really need to have sensors put on the new wheels. what do you guys think?

Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...

the sensors are there as a "gee wiz", pretty much. i really dont see a need for them unless u dont know how to look and see if ur tire looks low and u need to check it.
