I will be getting new tires and rims soon. I have been driving for 35 years without a TPMS and dont consider it a "must". How can I override the TPMS without pushing the reset button everytime I start my car to turn off the dash light? I have heard there is a "tube" that the sensors can be put in then put in the car that will "fool" the sensors. Where are these "tubes" ?
Thanx for any info

 

The tubes being referred to are home-made tubes that you place your OE sensors in and pressurize. I recall hearing that guys were making them out of thickwall PVC with a tire valve installed and heard that it works. I personally find it hard to believe that it would hold about 30 PSI or so steady enough without leaking to make it worthwhile.

When I bought new wheels, I had the shop transfer the sensors to the new wheels. I suppleied the band kits which I bought from AM. Problem solved.

 

Does anyone have any info on how to make a "tube" or any other thing that would work?

 

I've heard of the tube but have not tried it. I asked this same question and the answer is NO you can not turn it off. However I changed my rims and the light took about a week to come on and then after a few days it went back off and has has not been back on since. I got my wheels from AM with TPMS sensors in them but did not want to pay the 200 bucs for the calibrater.... my car is an 09 and possibilly possessed...hahaha my thoughts were these were just going to be spring and summer wheels with the thoughts of putting the factory ones on for the winter. Figured I would just live with the light on until I put the factory ones back on. I say put the new wheels on and see what happens and then go from there. AM is an awesome place to work with btw
