Don't laugh so soon.....the light will come on between 200 to 500 miles. Some sooner some later but they will turn on because the sensors are no longer there to transmit the signal to the receiver inside your car then the ECU will then flashing the light on you then it stay steady.

Hes we have tire pressure sensors and the light WILL come on. For me, I drove for a little over a month with no issues, but the problem came when I was doing a road trip, and it seemed that once I hit around 150-170 miles, the light came on, and wont shut off until you get within a few feet of your stock tires for a while. Once they sync up, you can drive up to 100 miles or so, then shut it off overnight, and start it back up and drive another 100 without any worries.

Just make sure to keep your stock tires, most people keep them in their garage so they sync with their car every night.

if u put the old tps on the new wheels it wont come on right?

is there anyway to fix that problem? maybe put on the sensor on the new rims? or have the dealer disable the sensor?

You can put the sensors on the new rims if they fit. Not all rims can fit the sensors.

Had my first flat from a nail ever on Thursday. The sensor told me before I ever noticed it.
