anyone have any problems with the tpms not allowing you to shift over 5k when u have lowered tire pressure?

toehead93 · 08-23-2009, 03:55 AM

How low? I had mine down to 28psi and had no issues.

boostedyards86 · 08-23-2009, 09:58 AM

28psi cold or hot? i had it down to 26psi cold and the thing was not allowing me to play.

if ur down around 28psi hot the sensor will come on again and not allow you to go over 5k. really sucks.

What sensor comes on??

boostedyards86 · 08-23-2009, 10:08 AM

the low tire pressure light.

interesting...

thing with steet tires is a lot of times lowering your pressure really doesn't do much good at all... in fact can end up hurting you...

boostedyards86 · 08-23-2009, 11:43 AM

actually the launch seemed to get better with the lower pressure...just wouldn't let me run then. but then comes the problem of how we are going to put drag radials or slicks on with low tire pressure... is there a way to bypass the system so it doesn't cause a disruption in rpm?

I change all 4 of my wheels at the track and have none of these symptoms.
