Default Any issues with side to side rotation and TPMS?

I put non run flat Michelin Super Sports on my 2006 C6. As far as I can tell these are non directional as there are no rotation markings on the sidewall and the sipes are identical on left and right tires. I would like to rotate them side to side, but I am wondering if this will cause issues with TPMS and/or active handling?

If you want the TPMS to report the tire pressures correctly for each side you would need to do a TPMS relearn proceedure using the TPMS reset tool. The TPMS reset tools can be had for $20 or less on eBay or Amazon. Lots of YouTube videos that explain and walk you through the procedure.

NO issues just reporting the wrong side; as mentioned buy a reset tool you can do it yourself in 2minutes

I had new front tires put on recently, and the shop, I'm assuming, unknowingly switched the wheels.
It took me a few minutes to figure it out ( first car I've had with TPMS ).
they will still work, but are specific to the wheel.
so you can either just remember they've been switched, or have them reprogrammed.
