    So I thought I'd at least price tpms for the winter tires... $67-75 each sensor.... but Ontario dealers tell me they're backordered.

    Weeks, maybe months.

    Supposedly Quebec dealers have them... anyone have any leads?

    With 5th gen IIRC the car will adjust when you swap to snows, at least after an initial setup?

    From what I've read people have programmed them easily. It's in the owner's manual.

    the trick for me would be getting the sensors

    Could it be that winter tires are mandatory in Québec:cautious: not in Ontario

    I think you are right , but since winter tire are mandatory in Québec , a lot of consumer also buy extra wheels and want TPMS

    Yeah I believe with advent of 5th gen if you DIY swap between the snows and all-seasons the car recognizes the different sensors (maybe requires one initial introduction?)? No such luck with 3rd gen. I just replaced snow tires (and upgraded their rims), and once again waived sensors, on our '10. You forget the light quickly.
