Some people check their tire pressure when it is too late; by the time they find out their tire pressure is low, they often need to get the tires replaced. This can be avoided by monitoring tire pressures in real-time. Since this is often difficult to do while driving, it is important to use a system that will monitor tire pressures for the driver. This can be done by using a tire pressure monitor. The PressurePro system has its own monitor which will alert the driver when tire pressures are too low or if they reach a dangerous level. The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor) is great for those who want to save money on fuel costs and reduce costs from auto accidents or tire blow outs.
The system can also help you save on fuel costs. When tire pressures are low, the vehicle needs more energy to pull the car along the road. This has a lot to do with the fact that low pressure tires sit low to the ground, which causes more friction. This can also lead to a higher chance of getting into an auto accident because the vehicle is more likely to skid off the road. This is extremely dangerous when driving in certain conditions such as at night or on the freeway. You can check your tire pressure often as you like with a push of a button to make sure tires are properly inflated. This is possible even if the driver is not focused on the monitor at all, as it is able to give detailed reports visually or by audio. Alerts are also made through audio and visual text, which is displayed on the monitor.
The TPMS also allows drivers to reduce the cost of having to replace tires because of rips and blow outs which often occur when the pressure is too low. Mechanics often charge a ton of money to do the smallest jobs, including replacing tires. Another great fact about the system is that it comes with an easy installation process which can be done by the consumer themselves. There is no complex instruction guide, as the system can be installed by simply plugging the cord into the lighter accessory which is located in the vehicle. Tire sensors are then screwed onto the valve stems, replacing the caps. You will end up saving money and time by using the tire pressure monitor.

How to fix tire pressure monitoring system after you get aftermarket rims?
I just bought a 2007 Expedition..I put 22s on it. But the factory wheels had the sensors in the wheels to monitor tire pressure...The guy said I could put them on the new wheels but it would cost alot. I need a special larger band to strap the sensors to the rims cause they are 22s .The system can not be deactivated by Ford for safety reasons...So I get a constant alarm with light all the time..They communicate to the car computer via radio transmission. I had all 4 sensors mounted inside the spare in the back but that didn't work....Anyone got any better ideas?
I am not so concerned with the price. I just don't like the idea of having these expensive rims/tires taken back off and put on tire changers and having crap installed on them..I am afraid they'll muck em up....
You only have two options....
1) find someone to deactivate the TPM system from the onboard computer (which you already said Ford wont do)
2) put the TPM's back in the wheels. You may be able to get a compatible valve mounted version.
I dont see any other options. The TPMs have to be "rolling" for them to transmit to the car. thats why putting them in the spare won't work.
Try slipping the tech at the dealership a $50.
