: Winter wheels/tires and TPMS...
antics22 02-22-2008, 10:54 PM Does anyone know if the EVO can register two sets of wheels and tires so when you run winter wheels/tires, the EVO will recognize them all?
Or do we have to have the dealer reset the TPMS everytime we swap them out?

In my case, It would actually be for my track wheels/tires vs my daily drivers...
ouano 02-28-2008, 06:35 PM I'm pretty sure that as long as you have a TPMS on every wheel it wouldn't matter. TPMS aren't unique, but you would either have to switch them out between sets of rims or buy an extra set and install them on the other rims. That's what my understanding of it is, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.
john83 07-13-2008, 02:36 PM can't i just keep that light on all winter? lol
i've been doing this for years with my integra and it was totally worth it.
antics22 07-13-2008, 05:59 PM thats how I do it at the track... i just ignore the light.. then when I put my daily driver wheels back on at the end of the day, the light goes away in minutes

rockn82 07-13-2008, 11:50 PM Well I just talked to a friend of mine at the wal-mart (yeah I know) but since tpms is standard on almost all vehicles now, this is what he said:
You can put as many new sensors on the car as you want they all just have to be tuned to the same frequency as each of the four on the car (four seperate freqs). If you get your tires done at wal-mart they do the programming for $25.00 for all of them. So its not the car's computer that you have to relearn its just the sensors themselves. They have a tool that reads the the frequency of the current sensors and displays that code. Then the new sensors get programmed with the code it spit out. The tpms sensors are also supposedly good for approx 5 years. Then you have to buy new ones...
Hope it helps : )
Oh and he also said the new sensors are available for wal-mart for $50.00 each. Looking around that seems to be a pretty decent price but I dont know who makes them.

if you hold down the computer button for more then 3 sec it will disappear. But after the first hard corner will come up again and stay until you do push it down again.
So i think its definitely has to do something with the S-AWC system.

wonder if this means you could get these setup and then just swap wheel/tires in the spring/fall without reprogramming the ecu???

Any updates on this? Anyone got two sets of wheel working with the same frequency?

thats what I want to know, anybody
These are about $200 or so a set.

They are an aftermarket company that make TPMS sensors. I'm sure a lot of nice automotive places can reprogram the sensors for you for a lot less than the dealer charges.
