How much have you driven it since the new tires went on? Certain parameters have to be met to get the light to go out.

Did you have the old sensors installed, or did you get new ones?

What pressure are you running, compared to what's listed on the B pillar sticker?

is the warning light solid (low pressure somewhere) or flashing (bad sensor)?

How old are the sensors?

Once you air up you may have to drive over 15mph for up to 20 minutes to be sure all readings are taken.

It's a solid light. I figured there from 08, wasn't sure if I need new ones due to a bigger size tire I put on

Tire size doesn't matter, just the pressure. You might have to over inflate to like 36psi and drive around for a while it get the light to turn off. The adjust the pressure to your desired pressure.

One problem you might run into is the battery life is supposed to be about 6-9 years.
