If it's just tires, remove summer tires, install snows, drive.

If you're installing wheels and tires, either install tpms sensors in the wheel and tire assembly and perform (or have performed) a sensor identification procedure, or live with a "TPMS" light burning. In some locales that may not pass inspection, in all locales it can interfere with VSA and ABS function.

Changes the price tag but worth it if you're on snow a lot. We won't get into ABS and snow.

Lack of TPMS shouldn't affect ABS as they aren't tied in. Only on the VSA Equipped vehicles would the lack of TPMS have any effect. Without TPMS, I believe VSA is enabled all of the time.

I'll be running Integra 15" alloys with Snow tires this season. Last season I went with the stock tires.

canuck901 from Canada. We don't get TPMS in Canadian Fits and I'm glad we don't.

Not to threadjack or anything but if someone were to per say put some wheels on without TPMS for the winter and put their stock wheels with TPMS back on in the spring, will there need to be any work done to prevent the TPMS light from coming back on, i.e calibration ?

We put on whatever winter tires we want WITHOUT TPMS units to save $200. We rarely find the TPMS worthwhile anyway, And yes we sometimes must have the TPMS reprogrammed. But for us its free. And lack of TPMS has no effect on ABS.
