My Car: 2006 Prius Package: #8 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Mine have been on since day one. My 35/33 psi is holding; I've had no TPMS messages and no flat tires. I guess is't's working; maybe I should let some air out of a tire to test when/if the TPMS warning comes on? |

Good... I guess I'll get some too..... btw.. I run mine at 42 in front and 41psi in rear. I have had not warning messages or alerts. Its been running in the high 30's to low 50's here. In fact when I got both of mine from the dealer... they were up to 40F and 38Rear.. but I raised them more. I've wondered if I would get an alert after along time on the highway and tires heating up.... I guess if that happens, I'll worry about it then. | |

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Transmitters?!?!?! Seriously? What's the frequency, Kenneth? (I've always wanted to say that famous Dan Rather line.) Every low-tire-presure system I'm faintly familiar with uses the rotation counter of the ABS computer system. Wheel spins greater than the calibration point = low tire presure. Any Prius genius care to enlighten me? |
