In a normal 2008 LS460 system, what should the tire pressures be ?

Mine shows 5 different pressures. Should I set mine to all be the same ?

Lastly, can I use "regular" air from my large 60-gal air compressor, or do I need to use nitrogen ?

Thks for any help for this newbie.

forget about nitogen, i think they are bs and you absolutely don't need it

i think 32/33psi on the 4 tires are good. for the spare, personally i will get it up to 45 just so it doesn't bother me as much when it leaks

 

With you on that "Rominl"

 

I agree! The nitrogen thing is total BS!

 

eddie, so did you find a solution to the problem? I drive around town without the spare tire, and around 10mi. into driving the master warning light come on. I would like somehow to disable the spare tire TPMS.

 

I am going with the wheel barrel wheel mod for now or until I can figure out how to disable or over ride.
The wheel barrel wheel mod is simply take out the TPMS sensors off the wheels drop them inside a wheel barrel wheel, fill it up to 30psi and leave it in the trunk with the spare.

 

Whats a wheel barrel? I havent had a chance to swap over my TPMS luckily my oem wheels are in the garage ive never had the flashing warning come on yet.

 

This is a wheel barrel...

 

LOL I thought that was called a wheel barrow. I had no idea it was barrel. It must be a southern accent thing like earl and urnge lol for all the trouble of removing my tpms I would just put them on the new wheels.

 

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbarrow

...Some people incorrectly substitute the word "barrel" in place of "barrow" as this seems to make more sense (possibly because the cavity in a wheelbarrow resembles a half-barrel). ...

Up here in the "north" we have never seen it spelled wheelbarrel!

 

Either way, Back on the topic... I went this way until I figure out how to disable it.

 

Honda charges 110$ to reprogram TPMS so if you have winters/summers it'll ding you 220$ per year !
