tire sensors
hi guys! hope all of you are well. had a quick question for you, planning to change my rims and was wondering is it mandatory for me to transfer the tire sensors to the new rims? what would happen if i dont? would it affect anything in my car? will the light go on if i dont? or does it just light up when i have a flat? thanks for the input.
planning to go with 18's on my sedan f-18x8.5 r-18x9.5 (235-45-18f) (245-45-18r) ADR M-Sport Hyperblack on a Ivory Pearl Sedan.
thanks

yeah, without the sensor I'm pretty sure it see's a flat and the light will come on constantly. There are posts on here about changing the sensor to aftermarket rims...it's pretty simple, hardest part is making sure the tire-changer guy/girl knows the sensor is in there or they are most likely going to break it getting old tires off the rim. I believe the just unscrew with the valve stem, and you simply just put that stem in the new rim. Do a search...it's all on here somewhere.

I have an 05 sedan. My sensors are in the summer tires in the basement. I am running my winters right now with no sensors an no mauor issues. The sensor light comes on the odd time . When you restart the car it resets to off. It seemed to come on more often at first, I would say it has only came on maybe 6-10 times in almost 3,000 miles.
