Stock 2015 Wheels/tires on my 2011 JKU Sahara
Hello everyone!
I'm new to the forums but I have always loved Jeep Wranglers and in fact I just bought my second one, a 2011 JKU Sahara. I recently bought some wheels and tires that came off a 2015 JKU Sahara. The posting didn't mention anything about the tires having TPMS sensors but two days after I installed the wheels on my 2011 I got an amber tire light on my dash. My assumption is that the tires do in fact have the sensors and the computer picked up something? With that I have two questions.
1. Will tires/wheels from a 2015 work with my 2011 JKU?
2. What code(s) do I need to ask the dealer to enable?
Thanks in advance!

2. Rather than go to the dealer, you can disable that light using a ProCal and adjust for future tire sizes as well, if you plan to go bigger.

This sounds stupid, but just ignore the light. I have snow wheels on a Subie with TPMS and didn't put the sensors in the wheels since they are $75 each. (Indeed the Jeep dealer isn't the only shafter.) It takes a couple days, but you just forget about it. Cheapest solution.
