GT3 alloys - TPMS critical ?

[Inspectorclueso]

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.

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.

Thanks - I had seen that brand mentioned in a few threads. Hope it goes well.

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.

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

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…
