TPMS malfunction after new winter tire and wheels installed

nimans · 12-11-2023, 11:23 AM

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the group. I have a 2020 X5 M50i with 20" wheels. Last winter I bought Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires. I had them installed on the OEM wheels. No problems, they worked great in the Michigan winter. No TPMS issues as they were the stock BMW wheels. This year I bought 4 20" aftermarket wheels, same specs as the OEM, to keep the winter tires on so I don't have to replace the tires on the wheels each time I want to change. Wheels are Touren TR94, 20x9, 5x112, 35 offset. I had Discount Tire install new TPMS sensors from their store. They recommended new lug bolts for the aftermarket wheels so I bought those too from their store. Now I am getting TPMS malfunction alert. I did reset the TPMS (many times) but still get this alert.

Is this a wheel issue or a TPMS sensor issue? Any advice?

Thank you

It’s TPMS. Wheels have nothing to do with it. Probably one or all sensors are bad or incompatible.

When you say you reset the TPMS, what exactly did you do?
