Did you go with TPMS for your new rims & tires? I'm thinking about just getting the IID Tool and turning off TPMS. Thoughts?

I recently shut it off as well with the GAP tool. Too annoying to deal with and I found that when I swapped to my off road tires/rim combo, it would take up to a day or two for the TPMS system to throw a fault. Seemed a little late for what I would expect.

Never really got the point of TPMS when running big off-road tires anyway. For starters, most people air down the tires a bit when hitting the trails. For on-road use, you will certainly know if you have a flat with tires with that much sidewall.
Pointless system.

TPMS are mandatory these days because most people just use their cars to commute and such. They are not drivers and are not taught that they should check certain things regularly in order to drive safely.
For some of us TPMS are useless but for the vast majority they are a necessity.

TPMS is pointless for people who pay attention to the vehicle and know what is going on.
The VAST majority of drivers wouldn't know if the damn wheels fell off. They need idiot lights.

Thanks for the input everyone! My 265/65R18's are being installed on my Compomotive rims as I type. I opted not to install TPMS and I will turn it off with the IIDTool. Even the guy at the tire shop didn't think that TPMS in oversize tires would be accurate or needed.
