Might wana check the TPMS again.

I'm new to the whole Evo scene, but I hear you gotta be careful when you swap out the tires.

TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors....you have them....I have them too. I haven't changed my wheels out yet though because I'm deployed.

I would check the Aggressive wheel thread up here for Evo Xs to get an idea of what you could do to stop the rubbing. As for the service light, I don't know....did you swap the sensors out of your old wheels?

If there are no sensors for the ecu to read then you would probably get that service light. I heard new sensors cost about $70 a piece but I would check with the dealership or swap the ones out with your old wheels.

I don't know what they look like - they could be in the valves or a ring around the wheel. If I were you I would go to the parts department (Mitsubishi) and see if you can get an idea of what they look like (ask them to give you a picture) and how much they cost. Maybe you can find them some where else cheap if they are expensive.....

It's your sensors man. You could go to Discount Tire like I did, plunk down what they want for them and have them installed, and then hit up a Mitsu dealer and have them charge you around $100, give or take a bit, and have your car recalibrated to them. Or you could go without the sensors like a lot of people do on here and turn off the warning light everytime to lose traction, open a car door, or start your car.

I think i will be going your route, if something else was to go wrong with your car, how will you know thats it's not only the pressure sensor that is setting it off?? there are other issues that can trigger service light im assuming right...
