Proz Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi everyone I'm considering upgrading from 17" to 19" Ford OEM alloys . I have TPMS so my new wheels will need it as well as i intend to use my original 17" alloys as a spare "winter" wheels. So I'll need 4 TPMS sensors in the new alloys but how are they programmed to the car ?? I am quite happy to use Ford original sensors despite the costs or are aftermarket ones just the same ? Is it a visit to the dealers to get new sensors programmed to the car ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Does your cluster show the individual tyre pressures? If it does, then the sensors will need programming for each wheel position. It's a 5minute job at a ford dealer(but will probably charge a silly amount for doing it. ) The sensors are self learning and on other cars without the display , you can just get them to learn without identifying there position.

I don't think it shows the individual pressures ... or not that I have found on the display. So I would just need the sensors in the new wheels and it finds them itself ?

Stoney871 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Ah sorry its a 2015 Ecoboost Titanium hatch . The only option in TPMS is to reset it. You could just use a sensor mimic and not fit sensors on the new wheels.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proz Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Interesting idea but I think I would want the sensors anyway . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 i looked on eBay. im sure there all the same regardless of the current model range. i can check monday for you to make sure they are. have your existing wheels got rubber tyre valves or metal?

Proz Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have what I think are rubber valves but heres a pic .... Also is there any issue with me running 235/40/19 on 19" Ford alloys https://www.jenningsmotorgroup.co.uk/shop/view/2013283-ford-mondeo-19-alloy-wheel-black/ I have a 1.5 Ecoboost hatchback 2015 with a retractable towbar .... it says on the alloy wheel page "Combination with tow bar only possible on vehicles from 10/2015" I think mine was first registered in 03/2015. But why would having a retractable genuine Ford towbar mean I cant have 19" Ford alloys ??? I don't see the issue personally ... I don't have a caravan .... its only for a bike carrier with maximum of 3 bikes but normally only 2 road bikes . I have used an alloy wheel convertor page and from what I have currently to the new 19" set up means the speedo is only 0.57% out which is nothing . If my speedo says 30mph I'm actually doing 29.7 . http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=235&aspect=50&diameter=17&wheelwidth=7.5&offset=55&width2=235&aspect2=40&wheel_size=19&wheel_width=8&offset2=55 Sorry for the questions .

iantt Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 no idea on the 19" wheel and tow bars. only thing i can help is the sensors, you have the rubber type sensors. ive probably got 4 kicking around . have pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
