Tirerack was cool with mounting on new rims without TPMS even though the vehicle I listed had TPMS. I think maybe I had to click an extra box to accept that I was being bad, unsafe and generally unamerican.

The problem there is the "new rims" part - I wasn't just doing tires.

I'd expect to be able to find a mom-n-pop that won't worry too much about the sensor. Does Oregon really have that much free time to pay attention to this?
