Ok I did a search but I didn't seem to find what I was looking for... or I just looked it over... So I bought a set of new rims and plan on putting them on shortly. I'm going to be keeping the stock tires from the gts cuz they only have aprox. 100 miles on them. Being how I'm keeping the same tires, do I have to do anything with the TPMS? Or is it just a simple swap? THanks or someone can point me to a link where this was discussed that would be great too
Simple swap, just make sure the shop or person doing said swap knows how to dismount and mount your tires and knows about the TPMS.
All tire shops regardless of how big or small should know its Federal Law that ALL vehicles 2008+ are equipped with TPMS. But just to be sure on your end, yes MAKE SURE they know the vehicles is TPMS equipped.
ask them to check the sensor too. a grommet on one of mine was dry rotted which caused a slow leak. preventive maintinance (spelling?)
any decent shop should have a tps test tool. basically you sweep it over the tps sensor and it reads it and say if it is working or not. Make sure you have them do this BEFORE they do anythign to your stock rims. and WATCH them...tps are easy to bust when your removing the tire from the rim and this way after they switch them if they don't work you can hold them accountable for it :wink: after I switched mine I got the tps message for about a week until if finally went off. not sure if this is normal with mitsu or not.
