Thanks Jeff- I shot them an inquiry. I'll keep you posted.

Question.... My guess is that the new wheels will require a sensor so that the tire pressure will work.

Will the "new" style (built into the stem) work or does it require getting the "wheel band" style.

( I HATE the wheel band. No matter how many times I warn the tire guys, they always jack one of them up).

For the stock system to work you need the stock sensors. The new style is totally different technology. Or if you are creeping the original wheels just skip the sensors, I don’t have them on my car any longer

Without the sensors, the LTPWS will not go off.
When I did mine, I used a Dill stem style. It gives me actual pressure in the tire and temp. The problem is, what to do with the readout. It needs to be mounted somewhere.

Yours doesn't have an iOS or Android relationship so you can use a phone? I doubt the necessity of 'always on/always to be seen'.

Bill yes you will need a wheel sensor for your 91. No the new style will not work as -=JEFF=- stated totally different technology. A member here locobob converted his TPMS to the valve stem style system so maybe you can look to that old thread to see how he mounted the output into his existing DIC.

When you warn the tire guys you need to be visual or at least give them a clue. 20 yo men have no clue what this 28 year old tech looks like or where for that matter it is on mounted on the wheel. I bring in a used tire band and sensor to show them what it looks like. I explain where it is mounted in the center of the rim inside the wheel. That the sensing unit head is exactly 180 degrees from the valve stem so they know where to break the tire and go slow.

Works like a champ last time I went to discount tire the manager stopped the guys "the entire crew" to give them a show and tell and afterword several of them watched the tech break the tire. Since I go to Discount repeatedly I am referred to the tire band guy with the old vettes. This 28 year old tech rarely fails unless you strip or track your car. Become your own advocate for your car. Show them how the e brake releases. Be vocal share your hobby.

Mine is not phone compatible, at least not that I am aware of.
No, I don't leave mine on all the time. I usually plug it in, check it, and put it away.

It sure if you mean “LTPWS will not go off” as in light will stay illuminated all the time or that the light will not come on if your pressure is low

I have no sensors in my wheels and no lights on the dash.

Only 90s and 91s you can pull all the bands and no light will illuminate. MY 92-95's if you pull the bands you need to plugs the light bulbs behind the DIC or go with the electrical tape over the light method if you don't want to see the error lights
