The sedan has one new tire. The new tire has more tread than the others and its causing the flat tire monitor to go off. Where can i get the tire shaved in Houston?

If it is the TPMS warning going off, shaving isn't going to help you. Your TPMS probably needs to be calibrated. I believe there are instructions on how to do this in the owners manual. If not, the google can probably help.

It's actually on an '04 BMW 745Li. For '04, BMW used TPMS's predecessor, FTM. FTM compares wheel revolutions while TPMS uses wheel sensors. Fortunately, I have the uneven set mounted on the front so I'm not torquing the diff.
