TPMS error with new wheels
I just changed my 19s on my 6S to take off 20s that came with tires on them from another forum members R. When I made the change, I first got a low pressure warning from a front tire. Pressure was fine when checked. Next time I started car I had a sensor error message. Do I need to recalibrate? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I just had an issue changing my wheels as well. I ordered a set of HRE wheels for my car. They arrived with new tires mounted, complete with TPMS sensors. Well, one of sensors had a leak... went to my local Discount Tire to have them replace it. They have a 433 mhz sensor, but for some reason, my car didn't see it. Hmmm. So, they suggested I get one from Jaguar, which I did. I called my local dealer, gave them my VIN, picked up the sensor, which had the proper part number on the package... Lo and behold, it is a 315 mhz one! *******s!
Anyway, I took one of the Orbits I took off of the car to DT, they removed the sensor and put it on the HRE wheel in question and all is good. I will return the wrong sensor to my dealer and get my $112 back.
Oh, BTW, in my experience, I did have to drive the car for about 2 miles for it to recognize the sensors.

I have two sets of wheels on my car. I used a TPMS tool from Amazon (which I returned after use) to verify the frequency of my sensors. I then purchased that frequency sensors from TireRack. Had the tire shop install them on the wheels, I mounted them on the car myself, and they just worked automatically immediately.
