Well I know this is a recurring problem for many,however I am a new member with a recently purchased 2003 C5 Euro Spec and I am based in Spain Europe.I have experienced inttermittent DIC messages "Service Tyre pressure sensors",my question, I am about to fit new tyres and ideally I would like to do away with the sensors and just fit normal valves,will this have an effect on engine performance,I have seen on other forums that it can make the cars traction control kick in when you dont want it to,or their is a reduction in engine power.I have however been told by others in th UK that I can ignore what I have seen as this will not happen.I know in the USA that it is illegal not to have operational sensors but here in Europe it is not.
I would be very grateful for a definitive answer to my question,I will sleep easier,my car has only done 23,000 miles. The previous owner hardly used it,so I have changed all the fluids and I am replacing the battery with a optima Red Top as the current battery shows slight leakage,your forum was recomended to me by Tom at Claremont Corvette.
