I've changed wheel size in my car - what about the TPMS?

I have followed steps that you previously recommended previously for resetting the tyre pressure monitor however I think the problem may be linked to my fitting the larger 19" vxr alloys instead of the standard 17" wheels. Is there a way to get the car to recognise the new wheels? Many thanks, Matt.

Hi Matt,

There's no way to "tell" the system that the wheels are larger. Are you sure the sensors are on the new wheels? The system definitely needs resetting after you change wheel sizes.
