Nissan Altima Hybrid Tire and Wheel Questions
Hello Altima brothers & sisters,
Has anyone out there installed after market wheels on their Altima and experience the low air tire light come on.I just installed 18' chrome wheels on the car, and the light won't go off. I check the air pressure, but no luck.And do you think this problem will be covered under the warranty?

if you transferred them, then this shouldn't happen, but if you got new ones, you need to have them reprogrammed to sync with the car
Thanks langjie for your input.

You would need to unmount the tires, and attach them to the wheels, inside the tires.
BTW, how are the sensors attached to the wheels?double-sided tape?
Thanks for your input, bobwish.
But yes, PITA

$100 shipped. you may want an extra set of sensors if you do a winter tire change. it's much easier to resync and maybe you can get someone to do it for you for free
FYI, the local Nissan dealership wants $108 for a new TPMS, mail order these Shrader TPMS # 40700-J02B (Nissan Altima 2006-2009) are about $40 each. Amazon.com sells a $25 "Tire Pressure Reset Tool" for Nissan but I wonder if it really works?
