Default wheels without TPMS?

This question is for winter tires

Besides an annoying light, is there any issue with running wheels without TPMS?

for instance, on my wifes acura if the TPMS is not established you cannot turn traction control off. This becomes a problem since i live in a very hilly neighborhood and when traction control drops power i lose momentum.

I have not programmed my new TPMS sensors with my new wheels. Besides the annoying warning light, no impacts I've come across. I can disable or re-enable traction control.

you can spend a few bucks to make this and avoid the light all together
