Second set of tires and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

TheSeeker · 2013-09-06T13:57:48+00:00

Hi, My wife and I recently purchased a 2014 Forester. Here in Wisconsin we have found it prudent to swap to dedicated snowtires for our winter driving, and I was wondering how others with the same thinking have dealt with the TPMS system on these vehicles. From what I have read, I have a number of options: 1) I could not put sensors on my winter tires, and live with, or tape over the TPMS dashboard light 2) I could buy standard sensors for the winter tires, and re-program the vehicle every time I change tires 3) I could purchase programmable sensors, and 'clone' the sensors I have on the vehicle now. I would like to implement 3), but I do not know for certain where to purchase programmable sensors, nor where to have them cloned. Any suggestions. Of course, I am open to other options people may have as well. Thanks in advance, Duane
