Suggestion · Original poster

Given these are mainly track wheels and I check the pressures during the day anyway, I'd rely on my tests not the TPMS.

Have seen some wheels I'm interested in....question is, what exactly do I need to buy in addition to the wheels to run the TPMS ?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Current plan is to swap tyres onto my single wheel set for summer / track use. Per previous post have not found a place to do this. However, I'm also considering just getting another set of wheels, then I only have to swap wheels, not do a tyres on / off twice a year. Have seen some wheels I'm interested in....question is, what exactly do I need to buy in addition to the wheels to run the TPMS ? And is it a viable option, just to not bother with TPM ? Given these are mainly track wheels and I check the pressures during the day anyway, I'd rely on my tests not the TPMS. I'm not sure if this would mean that I just get a 'fault' on the TPMS menu ? Or any other issues ? And would my original wheels, with TPMS, just work with the system when I put them back on. Tried googling, but a lot of advice from US sites and struggling to then make sense of the parts that I apparently need. I think it's valve stems and sensors ? Any info appreciated.

POST 2Original post

It’s ok without TPMS on a 718 GT4. You’ll get a warning message which you can cancel and then the tyre pressure warning light will remain illuminated on the dashboard (after flashing for a minute or so). I assume a GT3 will be the same. I am going to try some Huf TPMS on my spare set of wheels.

POST 4Original post

TPMS is new to me but done the same as your thinking and bought a second set of wheels but for track days. All you need is a second set of TPMS sensors. Best place I found was Design 911 but eBay also has options. https://www.design911.com/p/tyre-pressure-monitor-...

POST 5Original post

Huf are the ones I was recommended and they worked no issues. Also if you buy from D911 there are 10% discount codes on 911uk

POST 6Original post

I bought TP sensors from D911 and couldn’t get them to work. After a frustrating couple of weeks trying I sent them back and bought from this company. You give them the VIN and the sensors arrive ready configured. Cheaper than D911 and same sensors… www.alloywheelsdirect.com [email removed]
