do i need to have new sensors put on the 2nd set of wheels.. or is it ok to run them without the sensors and swap back to the street set at the end of the event? hope i dont need to get another set of sensors.

What car?

With most cars, all that happens is that annoying low pressure idiot light stays on the dash forever until you swap TPMS-equipped wheels back on. With some high-performance cars like the Corvette, the nannies will come down hard unless you have TPMS and the tires at correct pressures, or you have some other way of fooling/shutting down TPMS.

If you have a car that like a corvette that causes bad thing to happen when the sensors are out of range or low, the best bet is to make a pipe bomb. Basically an abs tube with ends capped and a schrader valve. Put the sensors in it. Air it up to the manufacturers specs and keep it in the trunk.

Haven't had an issue with my MIL's Impala with missing sensors. ABS and TC still work.

I run the snow tires on my Fiesta without sensors. Just ignore the light.
