The alert will come up after like 20 miles of driving or so. I don't have TPMS in my winter setup so I have to cancel the TPMS malfunction message every time I start the car.

 

You don't need a remote anymore - the newer models 2010 or 2011, not sure when they updated, re learn automatically ...

 

Incorrect. I needed one for mine.

OP - it'll probably go off soon. I believe it takes up to 50 miles for it to recognize.

This video helps if you haven't done it before.

 

What year is your car? Both mine and my dads 2012 have had different sets of wheels and tires with no issues. We've both put a couple thousand miles on the car since the wheel swap no codes/lights never bought a tool.

Come to think of it my wheels now are from a 2010 Roush with their OEM sensors so I assume all 2010 up should work without the tool.

 

2011. You must be lucky or your sensors may have been trained before. If you're wheels were take-offs or have OEM sensors, that could be why you didn't need to.

 

Hytek, great video! Thanks!
Actually, thanks to everybody!!
I really appreciate everyone's help!

I didn't drive that far last night, so maybe I'll still need to reset. I'll keep the remote in my car for a while, just in case.

Thanks again!

 

I think I've said it before but I'll say it again... I'm totally jealous. I wish I was in Japan with a 5.0!!!

 

Haha! Thanks Steve!
I've probably said it before too, but I'm proud to drive a Mustang in Japan. It's a little piece of home!

You might be interested in my Minkara blog. Minkara is like Facebook for cars. It's all in Japanese, but I have some cool pictures of muscle car events in there too! Here is the link:

Here are some pictures!!!

 

I just did some number crunching today, the 18" wheel/tire package is about $350 cheaper. I did SVT wheels with LM-60 Blizzaks for the 18" set, and black Brembo wheels with Pirelli Sottozeros for the 19" package. I'll probably order mine next week.

 

Those look good!

 

Good looking setup!

 

I drove to Osaka yesterday, about 80 miles each way. Still no warning light for TPMS.
I might just try the training procedure to see if TPMS is even turned on in Japan. maybe the wheels were already set before arrival?

 

Pulled the trigger today. Ordered the 18" SVT wheels and 255/45/18 Blizzak LM-60s. Should be on the car by the end of the week. Pics to follow.

 

I have the same set up from Tire Rack (good choice on wheels ). This is my second winter with them, and I never received a warning light from day one. I thought they were trained at the time the tires were installed. You can always e-mail Tire Rack and ask them. They have been very responsive whenever I had a question.
