Sienna, winter tires, Tire pressure monitor behavior ?

From: Todd H. on 1 Dec 2008 00:16 Greetings, Looking to buy a dedicated set of snow tires/wheels for my Sienna, and I'm curious of others' experience with the tire pressure monitor (TPM) interaction with: o running the vehicle without TPM's installed on the snow tires. or o what the Toyota dealer hit you with for a charge on calibrating installed TPM's on new rims If there's no adverse effect of running w/o TPM's other than the old fashioned need to actually look at and check your tires with a gauge regularly, I'm inclined to save the money and headache of getting TPM's installed and then separately calibrated. Best Regards, -- Todd H. 2008 Sienna LE (AL QF RL TO CF) Chicago, Illinois USA

My guess is that you would see a warning light on the dash but would not have any other problems. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

Howdy, It is a speed sensor type (and, if I understand all this correctly, should work with any tire.) All the best, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."

Instead, the speed sensor type senses differences in wheel rotational speed and so as long as all four wheels and tires are the same size and inflated properly, there should not be any problems or warning lights. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

Hi Ray, That is as I understood it... I replaced my Bridgestone run-flats with a Michelin tire, and except for the fact that I have to carry a spare, am very pleased. As you might expect, it seemed that I had to replace the run-flats every time I went to the super market. They were, shall we say, something less than durable. I went through three sets in less than 50K. The first was replaced by Toyota, but the other two were on my tab. In addition, from inside the cabin, they felt like they were made of wood... All the best, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." |
