I have some wheels and 305 x 70 x 20" tires in the garage from another truck. The wheels are "multi-fit", so they should fit on the 2010 Ram.

Here's my question before I powder coat the wheels and slip them on the truck .... I know there are tire pressure sensors in the Ram's wheels. I figure if I don't install new one's in the 'optional wheels', the warning light will show. So what, I say ??

Buying new monitors, or switching them out is not what I want to do. I can mount the tires/wheels myself. I don't want to incur more work or expense, so what should I do?

What have you guys done when swapping out tires for summer/winter application?

Thanx.

 

On my wife's Jeep. We just ignore the light in the winter time.

 

LOL, Just put a piece of black electrical tape over the light. However that said make sure you monitor your tire pressures for safety sake.

 

You can buy a set on ebay for about $75, factory part.

 

Best I saw was $165ish plus shipping. Which is not all that bad, I suppose for a set of new in the box sensors. Of course a bit of electrian's tape is about ... well, nothing.

 

I bought new wheels and forgot to have them changed from the factory to the aftermarket wheels. Not only did the light stay on, but the chime went off everytime I switched on the ignition. And then, after putting a piece of black tape over the light, the light was still bright at night time. I went back and had them switched and I feel much more comfortable and at ease. My advice, get them switched over.
