What did you do about the tire pressure sensors?

When I had the '05 Denali, I kept the sensors in the stock rims. In summer, when riding the custom wheels, my computer would always give the the Pressure Sensor warning every time I started up.

The dealer said to buy a complete set, its $125 per wheel, or pull em out of the factory rims. Since I did the Winter switch, and being a cheap bum, just would hit the "return" button after each startup to clear the message.

I guess I will be buying a set of them, that is now doubling the wheel price. :(

I don't think the wholesale price of the TPS is that much. If the system on the 07 Escalade is anything like on the CTS-V after you drive a certain amount of miles the TPS system will shut off until it picks up a signal from one of the sensors. If it's like that you just need to keep the wheels away from where the truck is parked.

I had the wheels off for 10 months. Still had the error.

Where they near the wheels with the sensors at all?

Nope. Put them in public storage. Don't like excess "junk" in the garage.

The Corvette's would always show an error code at startup if you took the sensors off.
