I do have a question, since you chose not to opt for the TPMS. Does the code clear when you put the stock tires back on? $360 seems a bit expensive to get another set of TPMS sending units and if there's no consequence (other than not knowing your tire pressure and seeing a warning light) of opting out of purchasing it, maybe that's the way I'll go too. It would be nice if there were a way of deactivating it.
I don't exactly know how to deactivate the TPMS light, but I do know that it is illegal to do so. My last car had a damaged TPMS sensor and I didn't want to go through the hassle of replacing it, so I also thought about disabling it. But after doing a little research on the subject, I found out that it wasn't such a smart idea.
