Had it not been for the TPM I would not have known, some punk in his ricer would have wanted to race me, I would have been game and at high speed, well it could have been ugly.
I think the TPM is a valuable feature that I would not disable. Just my experience and opinion.
Be careful when you attempt the next SRT-6 land speed record.
BTW - I do carry a Monkey Grip tire patch kit for just this situation, but I was not that far from home.
I agree with you, the TPM system is a great feature. I started buy sensor's for my new wheels, but when I found they were $95 each I changed my mind. I wanted to leave my OEM wheels & tire's all in original condition and not remove the sensor's. My SRT6 is not a daily driver so I figured I'd just buy a nice tire pressure gauge and keep an eye on them. Especially when attempting a land speed record.
