A procal or flash cal can turn it off completely. If you have a 2014 with the tire pressure monitor on the dash, I would keep them.
I have the TPMS display on the dash of my 2013, and kept my sensors installed in the wheels when I ran my old 35's. The problem is, with the 13+ models, the procal can not set the TPMS alarm limits lower than 22psi. I wanted to run 28-30psi, but with the threashold set at 22psi, it would still alert because it is "x" amount of PSI from becoming low according to your new 22psi setting. I read a TON of other compaints of this and found this to be the norm with the procal and PSI so I ended up just shutting it off all together. Now my TPMS display reads "0" and is pointless. When I got my slabs and 37's I went with standard valves since the TPMS valves are useless at that point and would reduce balancing issues.

I have the flashcal and set it to 22 and have no problems running as low as 26 without the warning. I have noticed though sometimes it will start on, and then turn off after driving a bit.

I assume you have the sensors installed then...
Airsoft BB's - been used in tires for quite a while. The biggest issue with them not working properly is when people use too much.
Use the chart from innovative-
http://www.innovativebalancing.com/BigTirechart.htm
Then go to Wally World and buy a big jar of Airsoft bb's and add them in yourself.
the problems come from not enough bbs. If you have too much, they all balance out anyway, but If you don't have enough, then you just have a lopsided tire.
Anyone who has had them not work, simply DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH in their tire. I had 14oz in my 37s, and my good friend has a whole jar (probably about 20oz) in each of his 47s. It was the only thing that worked for him.
They DO work when used correctly-
Having used them with success, I would still NOT RECOMMEND THEM. My main reason- they are noisy as hell at parking lot speeds. I posted up a video of how noisy they are in a different Thread about them. When you are not going fast enough, they curl around like a washing machine and bounce off the rims. Super annoying.
My ride- 2001 power wheel, 11" plastic tires, upgraded battery, boat sides, custom bumpers, tow hooks, new paint.
I'm sorry but this isn't exactly true. Your point is valid if a tire is only out of balance in the tread area. If a tire is out of balance laterally the beads CAN NOT correct this as physics is working against them.
But you don't have to believe me.... call Innovative Balancing and ask how to correct a tire that is out side-to-side. They will tell you to use the beads in conjunction with traditional weights. And to this; I say what's the point in the beads?

In my opinion, they're snake oil. If you have a Discount Tire in your area and with a road force balancer, that's what I would recommend. Ask to have them use tape weights instead of the kind that gets attached to the edge of the rim. Of course, if you're running something like an MT/R, good luck. Even with several balancings, I could never get them to where I wanted.
LOL - myth to me. The only reason to get your tires balanced is because they aren't.Is there any particular benefit of driving with your new tires for some amount of miles before you get them balanced or that's just a myth?
I've heard shops say that putting a few hundred miles on them & getting them warm a few times makes the tire settle, usually talking about large mud terrain tires.... Honestly I think they want you to drive on unbalanced tires for a while so you know what it feels like then after the balance you are pretty happy with how they ride.Is there any particular benefit of driving with your new tires for some amount of miles before you get them balanced or that's just a myth?
Just get the tires balanced twice.I've heard shops say that putting a few hundred miles on them & getting them warm a few times makes the tire settle, usually talking about large mud terrain tires....
