Apologies if this has been treated -- I didn't find anything thru "Search" I have non-TPMS 15" steel wheels with snow tires mounted. If I buy a 2013 or 2014 Prius with 15" wheels, can I continue to use the old snows? Thanks, jim
A little black electric tape , over the TPMS yellow warning, and no little warning , unless your state has vehicle inspections , then ??
No, it is simply there to let you know when a tire is low on air pressure I have gone through two winters here in tropical Buffalo NY with no TPMS snows.
Thanks. Does the tpms reset automatically when you reinstall the factory rims? My Fit did. I trying to decide between dedicated snow tires or a better all season LRR tire. We don't get the same volume of snow on the prairie as you do in Tropical Buffalo
Yes your all set when you refit your summer wheels . I have been very happy with my Michelin Ice dedicated snows, the mpg hit is ~ 2 mpg (I run them 42psi front, 40 rear) If I am not mistaken my car actually picks up the tpms signal from the tires stored in the rafters overhead in my garage and doesn't give me a tpms error for 20 minutes or so during the winter.
