Track Wheels and TPMS
What are the suggestions for wheels that are used for autocross or track days (and possibly driving to and from the track). Put in TPMS sensors and clone the stock ones, or just go without the TPMS on the track tires?

Go without. They’re really not needed anyway

Depends on if you drive to the event on them. I put cloned sensors in the autocross tires, I want to know if I pick something up while street driving.

Couple of questions, sorry if they're stupid. I'm just researching new track wheels/tires for my first ever BRZ:
1. Why would you not want TPMS for the track? I know they're not really accurate but they seem useful as a ballpark guide. I've been using them in my other car. 2. If I get tirerack to install TPMS sensors in my new wheels will they be compatible with my '22 BRZ and work straight away? I assumed so, but the previous post about 'cloned sensors' has me second guessing.. Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread |

Ah now I get that the previous gen was just a warning system. I was thinking about a 4 wheel psi readout when I posted that.

You can in fact read out the exact pressures via the CAN bus if you have a proper data logging system, but indeed it's not shown in the OEM instrument cluster. That may or may not be something why you'd want to have the TPMS sensors in the wheels. |

Old cars with a dummy light that only triggers at like 25-26 psi were useless except to remind you to top off the tires when winter hit. Zero fucks given about spending money on sensors for that, just leave the light on it doesn't affect anything. |

I don't have sensors in any of my aftermarket wheels. Way too expensive for what they do. If I could use the dayta and they were a bit less, I'd think about it. Depends how easy it is to swap wheels. My wife's car displays PSI which is nice, but I have to do stuff with the scan gauge every time. Kinda a pain.
As long as they're consistent, you'll learn what pressures you want to see.

Now, if you have a car that displays real-time pressure data in the infotainment or main display, then yeah I'd say get TPMS.

This is the first I've heard this but it makes perfect sense. I may have to look into getting this going on my Solo and finally pull the sensors out of my stock wheels.
