Persistent problem for me. I live at a high altitude, and I get -4 psi on at least one tire EVERY DAY, even though I constantly check tire pressure with an extremely accurate gauge. It is very frustrating, and I am constantly resetting the TPMS.

just kill of the TPMS. it is uselss.
you NEED to carry an accurate pressure gauge, not the pencil type, but a LARGE longacre kind of gauge. the TPMS is simply a bad gadget.

Paul, something must be wrong with your TPMS. I ran the 18" CCW's for a few days and got the TPMS not working error. I could clear the error by pulling the OBC stalk. The "!" and the TPMS light stay lit, but no other noises or warnings after that. When I put the 19's back on today, the TPMS recognized the sensors and worked as normal. I didn't have to do anything to tell it my regular wheels were back on.

So, Mooty, do you set your pressures at 29/33 for the street, according to your Longacre? If so, I assume your TPMS (when it was hooked up) was constantly telling you to add pressure?

Thanks. I wish you could set the TPMS to give you a warning only if you have a flat. Otherwise - it is a royal PITA! It keeps giving me flat tire warning when I drop the tire pressures for track days.
