TPMS sensors not working with aftermarket rims and tires

    Hey all. I’m wondering if anybody has been able to program their TPMS sensors. I switched to Goodyear wranglers that require 60-80 psi. My TPMS sensors work fine under 50 PSI but as soon as I go above 50 my sensors stop registering and the yellow light comes on. I can’t run the tires under 50 PSI because the sidewalls damn near touch the pavement. If I do this I’ll get flats while driving dirt roads at work.

    There isn’t a half ton truck on the road that requires 60-80 psi in the tires. In fact, the capacity of a half ton truck would never surpass the requirement of 55-60 psi in the rear tires for any LT tire. I run 36/39 in mine. First and foremost, Your tires are aired up way to much.
    Second, you need to push the reset button on the dash.

    If you air the tires up to 120psi, the lights will probably go out. Your lights, that is. Nice troll thread…

    Do they call you landphil because you’re garbage? It’s not a troll. I’ll let my tires down to 35 psi and show you what it looks like. Visibly low. Not good for oilfield roads. I haven’t had them at 80 psi. But at 50-60 WHERE THEY SHOULD BE ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS SUGGESTION. My TPMS system does not work

    If your tires are riding the sidewalls at 35 psi, then your tires are defective and shouldn’t be driven on. You would also be the only person who puts more air in the tires to drive off road. More air pressure only increases your chances of puncture or damage.

    Are you simple? Go drive on a dirt road with your tires at 35 psi and tell me how your two ply sidewalls do. Also my Toyota has lots of weight in the box. So yes 35-40 psi won’t do

    Are you simple? You don’t seem to understand physics, that’s for sure. I’m using a Toyo AT2 Xtreme LT295/55/20 tire by the way, which is a hell of a lot more of a heavy duty off road tire than the Goodyear wranglers.

    Deflate them to 35 psi. Throw a tidy tank some tools in the back and drive down some gravel roads. Let me know how it goes

    I’ve had flats from uninflated tires on bush roads before. In a lightweight Nissan Frontier. You city folk should educated yourself a bit before talking trash

    Maybe all 4 of my brand new tires are defective and I should try a new set at 35-40 psi.

    Maybe the harsh ride will jiggle the OP’s brain cells back together to take some advice and not take people deep that are trying to help…:)

    Those are max tire pressure ratings, not the intended running pressure ratings. Typical running pressures are between 30-40psi.

    Yours are the E load range correct?

    If they are SL you would see some deformation at lower pressures, especially with extra weight as SL is typically designated for light truck, more so passenger vehicles.

    They max 80 psi. I run them at 60. TPMS sensors don’t work at 60

    The sensors work just do not give you correct reading as you have changed your truck from stock parameters.

    Just getting started
    Just a thought...

    There is the TIRE manufacturer specs that you can fall WITHIN...

    Then there are the TRUCK manufacturer recommendations.

    I grew up on a farm, I run my own farm now, we have everything from 4 wheelers to 8 wheel tractors...and a lot of full size "light duty" trucks ( i.e. Tundras and the like) ..... All of us run 34-36 PSI. In any tire on our trucks.

    For heavy duty trucks it IS higher.

    For what it's worth, I just did buy a set of tires, the whole set was defective...so is it possible? Yup. I'd consider returning to manufacturer. Or, consider another tire. But, as someone who rides farm roads and frequents fields and trails for fun....I only from from 34-36 psi and adjust downward to around 15-20.

    Not sure if any of those thoughts are helpful, but God bless and good luck.

    Max pressure and operational pressure of tire are two different things, 45psi should be plenty. You don't need 50 or more psi on Tundra. Maybe on heavy duty trucks like f350 or similar but not on tundra. And not being an ass also helps when you look for an answer. If everyone here tells you one thing but you still insist on you being right, maybe it's just you didn't do proper research before asking.

    Yup. Nope. Who knows. But @ColoradoTJ can confirm that I’m a funny ‘tard. :D Maybe @T-Rex266 can too??

    80 psi on dirt roads has done rattled something loose in this fellas head.

    OP - Maybe you can get different TPMS sensors that would allow you to run without the dash light. As has been stated, your situation seems "unusual". It is likely that most of us who drive with loads on trails and rough roads run E load tires with stiffer sidwall and carcases. I guess my hypothetical question for you is what is the value of running P rated tires if your going to have to run them at such a high PSI that they ride (potentially) worse than an E-load tire that could be run at a more "reasonable" pressure with much less risk of puncture or destruction? Good luck finding whatever works best for your situation. (edit...if you are running
    GOODYEAR WRANGLER TRAILRUNNER AT LT275 /70 R18 125R E1 OWL then disregard my p rated comment...fyi i run 20 psi while offroad without popping driving over sharp rocks at close to payload capacity with my BFG KO2 )

    Others: I'd love to learn something from this...Am i wrong to read the screenshot that the OP posted with a MAX LOAD RATING of 3638 lbs at a MAX pressure of 80 psi that would be needed to support that max load (or if weight was evenly distributed a vehicle weighing 14,552lbs). If this is so far true, could we also use "math" to ball park an appropriate starting pressure for a fully loaded Tundra? For example: (80 * <vehicle weight>) divided by 14,552 would give us a reasonable number to set the tires at before using the chalk test? (FYI 7,500lb returns 41.23 psi in this example and seems reasonable to me)
