On a slightly different note, what about pulling the Tire Pressures for data logging. With the right setup, you should then be able to see compare performance at different track days and such, helping you make more informed decisions on tire choice, etc.
With enough information, it should be fairly easy to figure out why that other 8 keeps pulling away lap after lap, when you the dynos all say you've got more power.

Basically, pull the room fuse, and the TPMS looses power.. no tpms means no beeps. Long term solution is to either remove the tpms, or dsconnect its power souce.

My ASA KA3 wheels work fine with Mazda TPMS.
Page 5-27 of the manual says:
... procedure for setting the ID code
... Mazda dealer ... non-genuine wheels ...
I bought the wheels+tires from tirerack and the TPMS were installed by my dealer, but they were somewhat hesitant to put the TPMS in the wheels, and needed to look at the wheels to see if they fit right. They were also very careful not to break the TPMS module inside the tire. It helped that getting the snow tires on the car was a condition of me buying the car.

Sorry if this has been covered, a quick search didn't give me many hits. How would you remove the TPMS sensors from a car's tires? I'm putting 18" stock rx8 wheels on my mazda 6 and have no use for TPMS.

Bummed, but bring on OU!
Whew, old thread, but i'd forgotten about it...*wonders if any progress was made
The tpms sensors are built into the valve stem, i think. I imagine replacing them with regular old valve stems, would do the job don't forget to get 'em rebalanced, as the ridiculous number of weights used to counteract the sensors would throw the wheel seriously out of whack without the sensor installed.

FYI. I have a set of OEM rims with standard valve stems I use for the track with no problems.

Thank you!
EDIT: I was able to use this info and disable my TPMS. Thanks again.
