Hello fellow corvette owners! I have a 2013 C6 GS with a f1x procharger pushing about a 1200hp! I love seeking advice from this site since there’s lots of good info about these cars. I just want to know my GS requires a TPMS relearn tool to reprogram each sensor as I will be frequently swapping my street rims and tires with drag radials in the rear.

There is a way around this, and clone a set of TPMS to the set that you have on the car now, installing the cloned TPMS from the set you cloned off the street tires tpms in the race tires in the same tire positions as the set on the car, and you will not have to reprogram the RCDLR for the tire swaps instead.

Hence each TPMS has it own serial number, and so long as the cloned TPMS has the same serial number for that tire position on the tire swap, Bob is your Uncle.


Hence quick trigger of my left front TPMS comes back with it's serial number of 003616946 for that TMPS, so by cloning another TPMS to that serial number, it would be installed in the second set of race tires in the same tire position. The rest of the TPMS will have a different serial number, so the other TPMS are cloned to those serial numbers for the other tire position instead.

Note, most race tires have a rotation direction to them, and since the need to go on the car one way, and the front to back tires are different sizes, no fear of putting a front right tire on the front left position instead.
Attachment 48333004
P.S, The cub 101 allows you to clone TPMS, so was a smoking deal when they where selling for $29 from tire rack.


As for if this is for drag slicks that your going to be running a lower pressure that may trip the system anyways, then for the two rear tires, make a pressure canister to put the Rear TPMS sensor in once cloned, pressure the canister up to around 30lbs, and throw it in the car when your running the drag tires/have the street tires off the car.
Note, don't leave the canister in the car when you have the street tire on, but instead throw it in tool box with enough foil/shielding around it that the RCDLR can not see them instead.
