Default Re: TPMS Low pressure setting

I recently acquired a complete set of 7 spoke wheels and tires, and being the curious George that I am, I decided to try 18's all around.
I put them on the rear and drove probably 30 or so miles testing it out, including several full stop accelerations to 60.

THE TPMS LIGHT NEVER CAME ON !!!

Now, I askya, how in heck did the computer NOT turn the light on ?

( BTW, 18's on the rear looked awful, I put the 19's back on )

Easy answer to "Now, I askya, how in heck did the computer NOT turn the light on ?", the transmitters couldn't sent the signal to the TPMS receiver so as far as the puters were concerned, nothing is wrong. Its the same as removing the power pin (that mod) to the TPMS system. You disabled it by non-sending wheels/tires/sensors!

Logical, me friend, Logical!
