Default TPMS Sensor Warning

Just bought after market wheels and snow tires for my 2016 Honda Civic EX-T. I did not put TPMS sensors in the wheels. The display showing "low tire pressure" is very large and in the center of my screen. Can I minimize that somehow?

Black electrical tape to cover it, remove the gauge cluster and pull the bulb out, or instal TPMS in the new wheels. Those are the only fixes I can think of.

Doing more research on the web, it appears that Honda stopped using sensors in the wheels in 2014 or 2015. I have been told that the 2016 Civic has the kind of TPMS that senses wheel rotation and circumference as an indicator of tire pressure. I have been told that all I need to do is recalibrate. Let you all know

Default TPMS recalibrate question

does any one know how to reset the check TPMS warning and light that is on the read out. the car is an automatic 2013 Civic LX. i looked on the display options and i cant seem to find a similiar solution that works on 2015 models.

all tires are at 30psi. the car has a temporary sized spare that is also inflated to proper psi.

Bite the bullet and pay the 20 bucks per tire and have them switched to your new wheels, that's what I ended up doing. 0 Problems has warranty also,
