Default switching wheels

is there anyway to go from one set of wheels to another without having to go somewhere to have the TPMs reset every time?

If you put the sensors on the same corner of the car as they were, they'll be fine.

But even if you have to reprogram the TPMS, all you need is a strong magnet and follow the program procedure.

1. Turn the key to ON (don’t start the car).
2. Press the DIC RESET button to clear any warning messages, if they are present.
3. Press the OPTIONS button and cycle through the menu until the display goes blank.
4. Press and hold the RESET button until FOB TRAINING appears on the display.
5. Press the OPTIONS button once and the TIRE TRAINING message should appear.
6. Press the RESET button once, and the LEARN LEFT FRONT TIRE message appears.
7. Hold a magnet over the valve stem on the left front wheel. You may have to move it around the valve step to hit the right spot.
8. When the horn beeps (about 5 seconds later), programming is complete for that wheel.
9. Program the other three wheel sensors as directed by the DIC message display. The sequence is as follows: Left front, right front, right rear, left rear.

You only have about 30 seconds, I believe, to train each tire. If the sensor isn’t reset in that time, the training program shuts back down.

Really not very hard or time-consuming to do.
