I did the same thing last week. I thought I had a bad sensor in the stock wheels and didn't think it would be worth it to scavenge them for the new wheels, but they had a hand held receiver that they put beside each tire and all were testing fine.....which leads me to believe it might be something to do with the receiver in the car. Either way, i decided to go without them. I can live with the light being on, since it was on almost all of the time anyway, and the better ride with lower noise is worth almost ANY trade off. The only negative I've noticed so far is in fuel mileage. I've lost about 3 to 4 mpg on the highway, but I'm attributing that to the softer side walls of the non run flats. I may go from 36psi to 39 or 40psi on the next fill up and check it again. I have a trip to Houston coming up on the 15th so that will be a good 2500 mile trip, mostly highway, to experiment with.
