I'm glad this thread has been re-opened. I'm the OP and I have a story to share...
When my older wheels/tires with the older TMPS sensors in them didn't work, I didn't think it was a big deal. Shortly after I created the post I had three track days all pretty close to one another. The third day was up at Palmer which is about 2 hours from my home. I drove out, spent the night at a hotel and the next morning went on-track. It was raining lightly during the first session so speed were kept down. By the second session it was getting nice out and we started to turn up the wick a bit. About mid-way through the session, my car just felt all kinds of wrong. Without TPMS working I had no idea that I had a flat tire. Luckily, I came around the last corner before the straight and at the last minute I decided to pull off and take a look. Thank goodness I did because by the time I got to the end of the pit wall I was nearly riding on the rim.
I've since purchased new TPMS sensors because I was lucky this time and I felt the issue but had the sensors been working, I would have KNOWN there was a problem well before I could feel it.
