It's not that hard to swap them and it does let you know when your running low on air. Just make sure you mount the sensor 6 o'clock from valve stem. I think eventually with inspection is gonna be mandatory for no lights on dash and it will have to do bulb test to confirm light is working.

There are several States that will not passed you for TPMS light being on...there is no way to disable this light...I tried...just swap the monitors to your new wheels...its very easy.
