I'm ready to switch into my oem 20's and take out my winter 18's.
Got 2 questions:

1) oem 18's have tpms in them. can I mount these winters back on at the end of the year without registering/syncing them?
my 20's will run without tpms so the only tpms signal registered to my FX will be the 18's.

2) I took factory tpms out of the 20's (unscrewed them from the valve stems / these are not the same ones in my 18's). Do I need to change the valve stems to "regular ones" that don't go with tpms? Or can I just simply mount these 20's without fixing up the valve stems?

Thanks!

1) yes.

2) you need "regular" valve stems, the ones that any tires shop will have for like $1-2.

your 18 winters will be just fine when you remount them. Until then your TPMS light will illuminate in the dash.
