Did you keep the TPMS sensors on the wheels? You just need to reset the system.

You have two possible situations.
1) You have the stock wheels with new tires on them. If this is the case, you just need to reset the TPM, the procedure is in your owners manual.
2) You have aftermarket wheels. If this is the case you have two options.

a) Live with the warning light as there is no way to deactivate the system.
b) Buy new TPM sensors and install them in the new wheels, then reset the system. (Costs a few hundred dollars iirc)

On the same line of thought: If you buy aftermarket wheels and tires (e92) and the place installs OEM tpms sensors. Is there some wire that has to get hooked in or is the whole thing wireless from senson to car?

Thanks,
Scott

I believe it is wireless.

They are sending modules that are placed inside the wheel and the valve screws into the unit. Wireless to the receiving module.
