I am looking to put winter tires and rims on a 2006 SE that comes with TPMS. The dealer tells me if I go to 17" "winter" rims and snows the warning light will be constantly on.
The dealer said there is no way to turn off, other than removing the fuse which is shared with the airbag system
They recommend staying with the factory rims and buying 18" snow tires.
I don't like the idea of switching tires onto the rims twice a year, and am concerned that the TPMS sensors will get damaged or will need constant recallibration (expensive).
I would much rather have a full winter setup.
