No TPMS message with winter setup

Twinbo · 10-24-2011, 02:31 PM

Background: I ordered my winter tire package from TireRack [B]without[B] TPMS and installed this past weekend.

After driving >100 kms I still do not show a warning indicator or anything else for that matter in the driver information screen (I do not have iDrive).

Usually it takes a while for the computer to "sense" a tire pressure change but I thought it would be quicker than 2+ days.

Any insight?

when I switch to my track wheels without TPMS I have the same thing, usually after the first session the low tire light will kick in and stay on till I put my street wheels back on.

Is your car CDN or US? CDN cars do not use TPMS

It's a Canadian car. That's the first I have heard of not having TPMS but if I don't I will be really happy. I hated it on my last car. Not to discount your advice Jay but can anyone else confirm this?

Canadian Cars use the ABS system - I have a Canadian car and change my wheels our between street and track as do many other Canadian members. If you do a search you will see this has been discussed before.

EDIT - If you look on your stock summer wheels you will notice that they don't have TPMS stems.

Damn you guys are lucky. TPMS suck.

What would the harm be to not using TPMS? Besides an annoying light?

Thanks Jaypod. Didn't mean to disagree with you just wanted to be clear. Cheers to no TPMS
