Default TPMS Trigger point?
i believe right now under 24# the DIC shows the "low tire pressure" warning...

is there anyway to LOWER that value? or is it hard coded in the BCM?

No way!

I bet you've got DR's and want to run them at a low pressure - is that right???

345/35/18 Mickeys out back.. and these barely hook.. ill have to eventually move to a 15.. and while I run them at 18cold/20ish warm... I don't want to get rid of TPMS because if I get a Flat I want to know... I just wish I could set the annoying " OMG YOUR TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW" warning a little higher.

Some of the drag racers put 2 tpm in airtight PVC cannisters then put them in one of the rear storage bins.

not an option.. Because I would still like the use of the TPMS system incase I actually do have a flat.

If you have a tpms tool all you have to do is simple reprogram.

the TPMS tool doesn't re program for TIRE PRESSURE.. which is what im trying to do.. im always on Drag radials.. which means I need my drag radials to have the TPMS in them.

which does nothing to help me when I drive It on the street.. having the message pop up does nothing to impact power or anything.. I just don't want the message popping up.. all I want is to change the PRessure threshold for the MEssage.

I think you're missing what I'm saying but no matter you can't change the setting.
