Default Looking for quick TPMS answer

2014 IS 350 AWD F Sport. What will happen if I do not run the sensors in the winter with my winter tire/wheel setup? If it is just a light I can live with it for 5 months. If it is audible continuously like a seatbelt reminder, I will not be able to live with it.

Thanks in advance.

From the info I gathered, only the light. But I can't stand a light for all winter so I'm going with EZ-sensor programmable ones and cloning my OEM ID's on them.

The light will flash on initial start up and then stay on.

If u keep the wheels that have the tpms near ur car, the light wont come on as everytime ur car turns on, the sensors will still be sensed by the car. Hope this makes sense.
