Getting new wheels needs computer reset?

Uptown Bully · 04-25-2008, 12:17 AM

Wasn't too sure how to search for this question.

Say I get aftermarket wheels and better tires. Will I have to take the car in so they can reset the computer since it's set for the run flats? You know, pressure and all.

no all you need is TPM sensors in the new wheels and you reset the system your self. check out your manual it is very simple to reset the TPMS. I'd explain but the diagrams in the manual do a much better job.

Sweet. Thanks. Don't have the car yet but I'm glad it'll be a simple thing to do if I decide to get better wheels and tires.
