Can I run without tpms?

Can the default warning pressure for TPMS be lowered with coding?
Say from 30psi to 20psi when the low pressure alarm goes off.
Trying to run some drag radials in the rear at 20psi and car defaults to comfort mode.
Thanks. If not what is the cost to switch it off/on after each track day as I like the function for daily driving. Thanks.

I'm sure it can be, but are you running separate drag wheels, or just swapping tires? If the wheels don't have TPMS in them, then the car shouldn't care, as previously mentioned.

TPMS is for the safety. Of course you can drive without TPMS but 1. You are going to have a light illuminated on your dashboard 2. You will have no clue if you have a flat tire while driving your beautiful bimmer and possibly damaging your wheel
Hope this helps

I recently went Stage 1 with bootmod3 and I have never had a problem with my tpms malfunctioning before this. I have been stage 1 for a few weeks and the malfunction just popped up today. Anyone else have this issue? I don't think it would be bootmod3 but if it is should I reset my DME?
