Hey Whats up guys... I have a question and im hoping anyone can help me out... Im in the process of buying new 24" wheels and tires for my 2010 tahoe, do I really need to buy the tpms with the new wheels or can i just put them on without the tpms?

If you don't have the sensors installed on your new wheels/tires, the system will not read your wheels. There for, the "Service Tire Monitor" light will always be on.

You can install them on aftermarket wheels. Just do that. Transfer your sensors over to the new wheels. Should not be an issue from what I've seen.

What kind of wheels? I had to order an additional valve stem to hold the TPMS. Happy to provide info if needed.

Spend an extra $150 at the most and get TPMS installed in your new wheels. It's worth having before you end up with a bent wheel due to unknown low tire pressure.
