MustangSally2008

I have a 2008 Mustang that I recently purchased. I have another set of rims with snow tires from my previous Mustang that Big O Tires said I can use on my 2008. They mounted them yesterday and I took off, later realizing the Tire indicator was on. I checked tire pressure and added some air. Indicator is still on. Now after reading up on it I found of about the TPMS system. Something I trusted BIG O should have known.

Now I am wondering where to go from here. Also, I am wondering if it would do damage to the system if I just drove for the snow season with the indicator light on?

It won't damage anything, just an annoyance with the light on.

What Jim said^ you're fine unless you have OCD.

On my 2007 the sensor is in the tire valve. Probably the same on a 2008. So you could have the valves changed to the right ones if the light bothers you.

I'm glad my 2005 doesn't have the TPS sensors!!! Seems like a hassle.

+1. No sensors in the winter tires/wheels. No big deal. Just hit the reset button.

TPMS is a pain in the azz, forced down the consumers throat. I check my tires regularly. I don't need some POS system to tell me I'm down to 26 PSI or less. Hell, I add air when mine are below 30 PSI and that TPMS system doesn't help squat for that.
