I'm not sure if my post was misunderstood. I'm trying to find steelies to use for the winter without having to rip the sensors out of my current wheels Trying to have 1 complete (wheels, tires, and sensors included) set for the winter, and 1 complete set (wheels, tires, with sensors) for other 3 seasons. So that way all I'd have to do is just swap the set out when winter comes. And since my current tires only have 4500 miles on them (still new)........

The other point was to have a fully functioning sensor system during the entire year.

You'll still have to reprogram the car whenever you switch wheels.

To be honest, with how few months you'll have the winter wheels on each year, you'd be better off just saving the cost of the sensors and grabbing plain steel rims for winter. Check the pressure before you put them on, and once a month until you take them off, screw the TPMS. It's not like your car will explode from your TPMS light being on or anything. =^.^=

I am using a set of 14" Honda Civic rims with Michellin 175/70/14 radian X snow tires. The tires were dirt cheap from tireeasy. All together I have less than $300 in the setup.

Do the TPMS mod to disable those silly squackers, makes life much easier.
