I'd rather have a light to let me know of a potential problem than no warning at all. You guys probably don't like the fact that it has air bags either...7 of them.

Mine has the same irritating lights. I got winter wheels and tires with aftermarket TPMS sensors and they didn't work ( from a reputable local tire shop). Went to Mitsu yesterday and they tell me the wrong type was used. The aftermarket ones do not have the same frequency as the genuine mitsu sensors. The Stealer of course says I HAVE to use theirs for it to work, Lame.... mitsu wants $140 for each sensor plus install. the aftermarket ones were $65, but I Guess it really doesn't matter if they don't work. That works out to $560 to take the stupid light off the dash, a bit steep I'd say!

I went to Discount Tire for wheels/tires and they didn't offer me TPMS. The night I got the wheels/tires installed the light came on and I agree with you guys it's annoying. I came back the following day to get the TPMS sensors installed, but the light never turned off. They said it took 15 minutes of driving for it to reset or something like that. Now their saying they need a special tool that they've ordered to configure the sensors for Mitsubishi's. I'm hoping they can get it to work once the tool is in....

The tire shop I went to HAS that tool and they could not program the sensors. It has to be genuine mitsu I think for it to work. can you say.....HorRipoff!

I think, if you guys go to www.tirerack.com they will sell you a right TPMS around $50.
And those TPMS sensors even have a 3 diamonds on it.
Only problem was for me , my rims dont have a space to fit them, but i can confirm those are the factory ones for LOT less.

OK, I see it when I start the car -- I only saw the screen warning the one time I got any warning (right when I picked up my car), but I probably just missed the other light.

You should have bought the sensors when you got new wheels, they weren't very expensive.

Autozone has them too. I found them snooping through all the TPMS boxes when we got truck in last wednesday. They are $45 and some change. Only problem is AutoZone doesn't list them on their computers.
