Hi,
I have a 2008 Edge, SEL, AWD with 17" tires with TPMS.
Since I live in Northern Canada I will require winter tires. My plan is to purchase winter tires on regular steel rims with the TPMS sensors. I have purchased OEM TPMS sensors from the Ford dealership and I think I'm going to go with Michelin X-Ice 235/65/R17 on 17" steel rims. By doing this, I will be able to save my OEM rims from being ruined by the harsh winter conditions that exist here.
My plan is to get the winter tires on the steel rims with the OEM sensors installed and balanced but NOT put them on the vehicle right away. Just as the snow is about to fly, I can just change the tires out in my garage. After doing so, I am wondering if the TPMS will be OK with the new sensors in the steel rims or will I have to bring it back to the Ford Dealership for a reset?
Thanks for any input.
K
