Re: winter rims and TPS's

Yes, it's a one minute procedure that you can do at home.

I agree. You're going to have to do that anyway because in 2009 it's going to be a law and required for inspection. It's against the law now to dismantle or disable the TPMS system.

That sounds like a symbol on an import.

Yeah like I said don't do this anywhere near the rims with the sensors in them. Every time you go near them you'll get a reading.
