New Tire Saga

[eddiememphis]

When I went in on Monday, there was a cute little blonde chick that drove it out to me. I told her I was surprised she can drive a manual. She laughed and said a lot of those kids can't but her Jeep is a manual. I fell in love...

Having used Discount Tire on several occasions, I would love to hear the stories. Should they be avoided?

The last time I used them was for tires on my manual trans Jeep. It was fun watching the first guy go out to get my Jeep and immediately go back to get someone else who could drive a stick.

I'll continue to go there. I've always had good service, and this is something that was a simple mistake that they took ownership of and worked to make correct.

You dont even want to know why Discount Tire wrote me a check for $4500............

Seksual favors?

Every time we have a cold snap all the women at my school come to me all scared because the TPMS came on while they drove into work. They don’t know what the light means and I have to repeatedly explain what happened.
I will usually top off the tire to spec and I’m the hero of the day! Thanks Craftsman.

I have been living without TPMS on my winter tires because Discount Tire said they couldn't get the new TPMS to fit the wheels. They said they could try shaving the TPMS to get them to fit and I just said, "no thanks, I'll take the car now."

TPMS drives me nuts. It's super sensitive in my HD truck. Rears at 80psi drop just enough when it's cold in the morning to light up the dash. By the afternoon it's off again and sitting perfectly at 80. Cool weather shouldn't light up the warning.

What brand?

My 3500 RAM has TPIS (pressure display only, no warnings or idiot lights) by factory default though I could change it to TPMS used on the 2500's. I can also adjust the pressure thresholds using JScan or AlfaOBD. I can also just completely disable it if needed.

If you drive a Ford, I know they use Forscan and can probably do the same. Can't say for GM but I think you're boned if it is.

Ram 2500. I have the pressure display for all four tires AND the TPMS warning light. Worst part is the center display defaults to the tire pressure screen on every start if the sensors think the pressure is too low. Which drives me nuts having to turn it back to my preferred speed display each time I start the truck when it's cold.

I may have to try to adjust the pressure threshold as you described.

If you don't already have the setup, you'll need a security gateway module bypass cable if it's 2018+, decent OBDII reader, and either AlfaOBD or Jscan. AlfaOBD is Android or Windows only.

DO NOT get the 12+8 cable or modules they use for the 1500's. The SGM on the HD's are up behind the instrument cluster. The cable I linked plugs into the canbus blocks behind the headlight switch.
