Tire pressure monitor what happen without
I have a set of Forgeline's and I'm going to mount on a GT 3 , 2018, with some all season tires so I can drive a bit in the winter. What's the situation with the tire pressure monitors? If I don't mount them what happens do I get a constant light or just no reading? Basically I need to know if it's necessary to mount them and if it will alter the behavior of the automobile?
And if I need them where is the best place to get them suncoast?
Thx

You’ll get constant warning without tpms.
Get them from https://www.tpms.com/Porsche_911_GT2...als_s/9079.htm
i have them on my track Forgelines. Made in Germany . Huf is Porsche Oem supplier and is the same ones at 1/4 the cost of the Porsche ones.

You will get a warning on the right gauge at start-up that you can clear with the stalk; and then the tire pressure light in the left gauge will be illuminated constantly. Other than telling your passenger why you are driving around with a warning light illuminated (and not having quick access to tire pressure data), it's not an issue.
But if you have bare rims and are mounting tires, definitely install compatible TPMS as well so you don't find yourself frustrated with the warning light and deciding to unmount/install/remount.
Edit- I'm reading and typing slowly today- saw your reply to the first response after I hit submit. Enjoy (I'm going to order as well and unmount/install/remount........)

I have TPMs only on the OEM /wheels/tires, and they are seldom on the car. I get the start up warning and clear it with the stalk. It is part of my start up procedure and I do it automatically without thinking about it. Of course I am constantly checking tire pressures, but that is part of the sport.

I didnt run TPMS on my 19 inch wheels with hoosiers for a few months. Like Mussl Kar said, its pretty simple to toggle through the stalk and clear the warning. But, my concern began with the hoosiers - the sidewalls are so stiff that you cannot look and tell if the tire is flat or low. I was a little concerned with quick loss of pressure on the track and no having any idea what my pressures were while on track. I was always checking the pressures before entering and when exiting track...but I prefer the peace of mind of knowing where the pressures are on track
