Default RE: OEM 20" wheels

I bought aftermarket 20" wheels and also got new sensors for them. I haven't taken them to the dealer to get them caliberated. Do I need to do this or will simply resetting them take care of this? Not sure since they are a different size wheels and new sensors that have never been caliberated.

Do they display the correct tire pressures in the DIC? (actually they each should read 2lbs low).

Is that to ensure that you always good before the alarm goes off?

I have 24" wheels and didn't do anything to the computer. I know they're a little taller but didn't think it would make that much of a difference. I used the sensors out of my stock wheels with no problems.

Nasty,
What 24's do you have? Do you have pictures?

Just thinking about upgrading to 22's or 24's. Is anyone interested in my stock 20's, wheels and tires. They have normal wear. I actually purchased them new from my local dealer about 2 weeks ago. They were removed from a new vehicle at the dealer because the buyer wanted aftermarket wheels. I have put on about 400 miles on them. The 07 tahoe isnt my daily driver so they will not have many miles on them now or anytime soon. I drive it about once every two weeks. One of the center hubs does have some slight scratches, probably no more than normal but it is noticable to me!

Make me some offers if anyone would be interested and I will see if it persuades me to go bigger! Thanks.

Mine doesn't display any prssure readings ... just "check tire sensors" or something like that. They are NEW sensors, not the ones from my stock wheels. Those are still in the stockers so I can change back to them in the winter.

So do I need to go to the dealer and get some sort of caliberation on my NEW sensors? I tried resetting them like the manual says but unless I'm doing something wrong (which could very definately be the case) it's not working.

Yes you need to go to the dealer and have them program the sensors!

I have Foose D6 wheels. They are chrome with black (my truck is black) inserts (spikes). They also came with chrome inserts (spikes). It's cool that you can change the inserts to change the look. I'll try to get a pic even though I have a Yukon.

The flashpaq will allow you to recalibrate for the new tire height.
You would need to physically measure from the ground to the top of the tire within 1/4" increments.
