Winter Tires - TPMS

maxjlone · 10-22-2009, 05:22 AM

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the TPMS on our GM. Sure, I had to spend an extra $300 for the second set of sensors for the winter wheels, but it's only a one-time expense.

I'm also glad I don't have to go back to the dealer for the sensor re-learn every spring and fall. With the GM system, you can reset the sensors by simply letting air out of the tires in a preset pattern. Works fine for me when I do my own changeovers.

I bought a set of used Touring rims for my '08 and will be getting them installed next week- Will the tpms fit the 16 inch touring rim? I had planned on just swapping the tpms from the old rims to the new, and selling the 15 inch rims with the tpms that were in the 16 inch.
