I am looking at getting the yokohama geolandar a/t-s tires in 235/65hr17. I plan on using the stock 17" wheels so do I need to do anything with the tire pressure monitors? Will they work with the bigger tires?

The sensors work with any tire, no matter what size.

Thats good to know. I never had these sensors before so going with bigger tires that can handle more air I thought that might throw the sensors off. Thanks for the replies

Yeah, no proplem with 235/65-17 Cooper discover atr's, even works with lowish presure of 2,2 Bar.
By the way, those tires are allmost same weight as originals so no changes on it either:smiley_thumbs_up:
