TPMS, VSA fuse, bla bla ...

Hello folks, I found at least one old thread on the subject, but could not find any conclusive answers. Pardon for bringing up an old subject. Anyway, I'm looking to put snow tires on the car this upcoming winter, and see that without working TPMS sensors on the new wheels, that I won't be able to switch off VSA (which apparently may be advantageous in certain situations). One possible work around was pulling the VSA fuse, but I couldn't find any definitive answer on which fuse to pull, what else it may have disabled (ABS? Power steering?), and most importantly - whether or not it actually worked. Has anybody out there given this a go, and hopefully with good results?

VSA is the SAME module that controls ABS and your brakes in general.

So... you can't disable VSA without disabling ABS. And there are THREE fuses for it... all listed in the owner's manual.

switch off VSA (which apparently may be advantageous in certain situations).
by your choice of words... I think you shouldn't be doing anything to it.
