I was told there in the tires probably used to catch ppl when they steal tires in mass quantities as well.

Anyways checked the tires there all at 27 out of 32 aired them up sensor went off. Strange how they went from 32 to 27 in 3000 miles.

The sensor is located inside the tire/wheel on the backside of the valve stem. Some vehicles with full sized spares have sensors in the spares but the cars with donut spares typically do not.
