Installing a sensor in your 4.8 won't help because there's nothing on the other end to pick up the signal. You can put any tires you want (that fit, of course) on your 4.8 and the current system will work with them - there are no sensors. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend RF snows because you won't know which one is flat. I thought the 4.8 had a space-saver spare?
