Changing wheels
I jusrt picked up a set of Z06 five spoke wheels and Goodyear F1's. My question is: How will this affect my LTPWS? Can the sensors be switched over to the new wheels? The new rears are 18-inches.
Thanks, sorry for the dumb question but I've only owned the car for two weeks and I'm new to corvettes.

You might have to get new metal bands, but not positive. I had a tire shop cut one of my bands one time because they didn't know what it was.

As it is the indicator light usually comes on after a few miles and then shuts off again after a few more miles.
Funny thing is the first time my wife saw it she asked me what LTPWS means. When I told her and she said "Why doesn't it just say Check Tires. Good question.
