Hello,
I am running studded tires on separate wheels until spring on a 2009 Elantra, with pretty basic TPMS sensors, i.e. no pressure numbers indicated on the dash, just a TPMS light when something is out of parameters, I suppose. I don't have sensors in my winter wheels and the summer (oem) wheels have the original sensors. I am wondering if it would be prudent to replace the sensors this winter when I have new tires installed on those wheels, but am wondering if the tire shop need the car to configure the sensors to the car's electronics. I would like to just have new rubber and sensors installed on the oem wheels and then put them on the car this spring when I swap over from winter tires. Tire shops are swamped in the spring/fall and I want to avoid that. Will I have trouble with new sensors if they are installed on loose wheels?
