Tpms and 18’

[Jimmy Brooks]

Getting new 18 inch wheels and tires Wednesday. While I was ordering my tires from the shop they told me the tpms from my factory 19’ is able to be swapped to the new 18’ wheels. I see all these forms about people turning off tpms with the iid tool. Why wouldn’t they just swap them over like I will be doing, am I missing something I should know?

Some in cold climates have a separate set of wheels/tires for the winter. And some of those don't want to spring for a second set of TPMS sensors.

Or if you're going to be offloading a lot and don't want to look at the yellow light when doing that.

The 2010 though 2013 system doesn't give you an actual reading, just a yellow idiot light.

Not worth it to me when swapping wheels and tires for the limited amount of data given. Just easier to deactivate it and monitor pressure myself.
