Default Are you running pressure sensors in your Fikses on your C5?

I have a set of FM/5 classics that I'm putting on mine. I have been planning to use the tire pressure sensors. Are there any pros/cons I should be thinking about? Does the sensor fit the rim okay? Cause any balancing issues? Thanks!

what computer problems if any, do you get without sensors. I don't like mine (sensors), because they alarm at just 42psi. I like to run some tires that high ordinarily.

thanks

I had to modify the sensors. If I remember correctly, there wasn't enough thread exposed and I had to chuck them in my lath and turn down a lip so they'd protrude more. The sensors work fine.
