Sharing my winter tire buying experience and also here to see if anybody has ideas on a TPMS fault on just one of my four new wheel/tires.
I brought my Y to Detroit Wheel and Tire yesterday to get a winter set, they were able to acquire the correct Model Y TPMS sensors from Tesla to go with a new set of 18" Tesla Aero Wheels (Model 3) and some General Altimax Arctic 12 in 235/55/R18 XL 104T. Overall everything went well and the new setup does soften the drive a bit as I wanted, takes away some of the edginess which is fine for me in winter. I like the look of these and am also planning to get the aero wheel covers for road trips, planning to drive from Michigan to Florida in about a month.
When I got in after the swap all 4 tires were reporting 42 psi and I had no faults, drove for about an hour to a supercharger and after starting to drive again I had the TPMS fault and the front left tire was just indicating -- (see pic). This has remained like this ever since, and I've driven the car several times and hasn't fixed itself. Not sure if the front left was reporting at first because I still had the other set of wheels/tires inside the car or if the new front left sensor worked and then failed. Any ideas how to fix or reset this or does it sound like a bad sensor?
