Can I swap from my winter to summer tires with out going to the dealer, both sets are mounted on different rims with the pressure sensor installed?
If you rotate the tire what happens to the tire pressure monitor system?
How do you "tell" the position of the tire, to the computer?
Thanks

From the Owner Manual:
The TPMS matching process is
outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to
ON/RUN with the engine off.
3. Go to the TPM vehicle
information screen on the DIC.
See Driver Information Center
(DIC) on page 4-27. Press set to
relearn the sensors. The horn
sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode and
Tire Learning Active message
displays on the DIC screen.
4. Start with the driver side
front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from
the valve stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure
for 10 seconds, or until a horn
chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which can take up to 30 seconds
to sound, confirms that the TPMS
sensor identification code has
been matched to this tire position.
6. Proceed to the passenger
side front tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger
side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the driver side rear
tire, and repeat the procedure
in Step 5.
9. After hearing the confirming horn
chirp, for the driver side rear tire,
the horn sounds two more times
to signal the tire learning mode is
no longer active. Turn the ignition
switch to LOCK/OFF.
10. Set all four tires to the
recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the tire
and loading information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the
valve stems.
The tires air pressure will not
appear on the screen until you start
driving the vehicle.

Just curious about my new camaro. I just purchased the 2SS Camaro w/RS package. Do they come with Nitrogen in the tires or just regular air cause my tire pressures area all different in each tire so i just was curious what i need to fill them up with? Thanks for the help.

Probably just "regular" air. When I was shopping for my SS I noticed that the dealers charge extra for nitrogen and then put green valve caps on.

I noticed a spread of 5psi from my lowest to highest reading tire. Probably just from somebody in dealer prep with a crappy tire pressure gage.
