If you feel adventurous @93civEJ1 I'd say unseat the bead yourself. If you deflate the tire to 0psi (pull the core out) and use a 2x6 or 2x8 positioned by the valve and drive the truck onto it (or another vehicle (be prepared to let more pressure out if the core doesn't come out). Make sure you lay the wood on the rubber only and leave the vehicle parked on it to keep the tire pinned down.

From there you should be able to uninstall the TPMS and install a basic rubber valve. Unless you have a compressor at home you'll most likely need to take it to a shop (or a friend with a compressor's house) to reseat the bead.

OR, don't install a valve and leave one bead unseated as a selling feature "Install your own TPMS or valve".

@Crikeymike the tire won't necessarily turn unless you completely uninstall the tire.

There will be a small difference in the balance from TPMS to rubber valve, but it'll be insignificant.

I've done this, it works.
