So I've put snow wheels and tires on the car, but didn't pick up the TPMS sensors...is there an easy way to disable the TPMS so I don't have a flashing light on the dash 9 miles after starting up?

a lot of owners that have no TPMS sensors for whatever reason, have used a small piece of black plastic tape. it is opaque, and will block the light from the dash light, and it is low tack, so it should not leave a nasty residue on your gauge face.
