Default Can TPMS wheel accept regular valve?

After my Lexia arrives and I disable TPMS, when the original TPMS sensors fail in a few years (prematurely, of course, necessitating replacement at great expense, of course), can I simply replace them with standard valves? That is, will the regular "tubless-tire" valves fit a wheel that was designed for TPMS sensors? If not, are there any non-TPMS valves that will fit?

Thanks.

If you turn othe warning, how do you know when they fail. They won't send a signal to the dash, but they won't leak air, either.

Good that they won't leak air. That way I won't ever have to replace the "stems".

they'll work fine. when a local shop broke the stems off of my old sensors, they put regular stems in while the ordered new sensors.
