No harm u just won't know when you'll have a low tire and your dash will have that light constantly blinking contact Kris Becker from gotoracingonline.com he sells tpms for a reasonable price.

I would just have a shop put them in my spare and fill it up to 40lbs. Been running mine that way for months with no issues and no dash lights.

I do that in winter on snow tires...but my all seasons are in the garage or in the basement so whenever i park my car in the garage the tpms sense those tires so when i start my car again the warning light goes off.....then after 20-30min of driving it just comes back on again

Like stated above, it works perfect for someone who has rims that don't support TPMS and gets rid of those annoying sensors...
