Thinking about doing my own rotations, but I was curious about whether the truck registers where the tire are in relation to the truck. Or if you need to have them rotated at the dealership to have that set? You know RF, LF, RR, LR. So that is your display everything is in the right spot.

Just curious.

Thank You!

The truck automatically figures it out, so you don't have to do anything extra.


Has that always been true or just for later models? My tire shop labeled my Winter tires for location and suggested I do the same for my Summer tires when I swap them this Fall. The shop said they have to program them for location. After I drove off, I got to thinking what a PITA it will be to rotate my tires and have to take them back to have the TPMS sensors reprogrammed.

some vehicles are different than others. Some require you to do a "reset". I did with my old Chevrolet (2016)

I always labeled my tires on my 2010 Challenger when I changed between summer and winter tires, but not because of the sensors, but to be able to rotate them when I put them back on. It doesn't need to be marked for sensor recognition. Once you drive a block or two it will automatically register PSI and location.

You don't need to mark them, the computer recognizes the new sensor location after a few minutes of driving (over 20 mph).
