Winter Setup-TPMS

mex2309 · 09-16-2013, 08:14 AM

Hi-

Going to buy some winter tires (non RFT). From what I read the TPMS sensors are located on the wheels?
So... when I get them mounted and balanced the sensors should still work?

I'll replace my stock 18" Bridgestone RFTs.

If you are just buying tires and having them mounted and balanced on the same wheels then yes, you are correct. You will have to reset the TPMS system, but you can do that yourself through the idrive screen once you have the pressures set corrrectly.

Sums it up perfectly.

The TPMS sensors do not know whether or not you are using run flat tires so they will function the same regardless.
