Default New tires but no low tire pressure light

Installed new tires and rims tonight and went for a ride. Weird thing my TPM light did not come on like I expected since the Jeep no longer had pressure monitors in the tires. At least I don't believe they do

If you had a tire shop do it then they are probably in there. I know that where I live if the vehicle comes stock with it they will put them back in some new law. Best way that I know of on my 13 JKU is check on your dash to see if you can read any tire pressure in the wheels. I know when I shut mine off with the pro cal it wouldn't even read the tire pressure I had in there I thought that it was just shitting off the alarm but I was wrong. I hope this helps.

Interesting. The tires were delivered to my house already mounted and balanced.

If the TPMS wasn't installed give it some time and the (_!_) will come on after 20+ miles of driving it...

If you drive an '07 then I don't think you have the system at all.

I actually had the opposite problem, i put new tires on the wheels with TPMS, and it look a little over 150km for the light to go off.

So I drove forever with no TPM light and checked my pressure and they were at 39psi. Ride was hard so I dropped to 27psi to see how that felt. Drive for a few miles and the light came on. It is either a coincidence or 4wheelparts.com installed TPM in my tires.
