I'm currently in the market for VS-XX. But I only concern is that i want to run my TPMS. I understand that most people will just throw them in the spare and inflate it. But I like to know where my tires are at. So here's a link that I found.
So my question is for those who ran a TPMS on work or any other multi-peice wheels.

TPMS L Shape Adapter Set (For 2 Piece Valvestems)

Use this stuff

Dill Air Controls Products Banded Components

Get a band (1194)
And bracket (1025-U) per wheel

A tire retailer will bend the tab on the bracket, with the round hole, out and bolt your sensor inside the wheel as a "banded" sensor. Problem solved.

It will function as if it were mounted normally, can be balanced as usual AND you can use a standard valve and not have to worry about the sensor stem corroding/leaking.. You need to remember to mention this to future tire shops/techs so they don't accidentally break the sensor.

i dont mean to thread jack but if you go with bigger wheels lets say 18"/19" and a slimmer tire wont the PSI in the tire be different thus causing the TSX ecu to think that theres a problem anyways ???


it only sees the psi and has a warning somewhere under 32,,,,,and like most said stretched or shorter sidewalls mean higher PSI.

Again not to thread jack but my rears run at 29/30 PSI varies with weather condition and i have no warnings from TMPS, i got a 2008 Non Tech with stock tires and wheels. Just in case anyone needs this useless info :p

My only concern for me to have the TPMS is so i can know if my tire pressure is below 30 psi during winter months or if theres a leak. And I'm aware that tire pressure will be different due to the volume of air in a tire that is stretched on rim thats not factory sizing. Plus who checks their tire pressure regularly if you don't have the TPMS? Most likely no one often. But thank you for your input, and I've decided not to go with VS-XX due to the popularity and abundance in our community.
