It would be nice from an installation standpoint, as well as balancing standpoint, to not use the TPMS. I kinda considered it for my new setup. Hell I still might leave them out, I donno. The reason I tend to favor leaving them in: My last car didn't have TPMS, and once I picked up a nail in my right rear tire, probably in a construction area at the beggining of the drive, during a commute into the office (45 minute drive, mostly low-speed straight line on the highway). Didn't notice until I got downtown and started making turns again, and something felt 'off'. Tire had 10psi left by the time I parked in the parking garage and patched/reinflated. When not cornering, it's easy to miss this kind of thing on a low-profile tire with stiff sidewalls.
