I would think so... Nothing beats the checking weekly (or more often if you like) the manual checking of tire pressures. You just cannot legislate safety in tire maintenance. TPMS just makes it a reminded issue providing the system is working properly and the manufacturer doesn't make it harder and more expensive to keep it that way. We all know the manufacturer will make it easier for you to give them your monies, right? If removing those TPMS sensors at the next tire purchase doesn't work, just do the pin removal mod and if you still have the TPMS indication, you'll either need to have it reset and/or you have another problem which is triggering the lamp in the dash.
