TPMS and new tires showing incorrect pressure readings.

Okay, so I just bought new tires for my 06' TL, I got Hankook Ventus EVO k110 tires and I must say they are very nice. So here is my problem, I got them mounted balanced and installed on the same factory rims, but I've noticed when Im driving the TPMS is showing pressures over 40psi!!!! I check with an air pressure gauge and the PSI is normal at 33 to 34psi, but TPMS is obviously off, any info on this ??? or do I need to take to my dealer to check it out?

Did you just drive off, or have you been driving for a while. The TPMS will take a couple minutes to recalibrate. But, if it's been a while, then I'm not sure.

Did the tire shop unmount the TPMS or touch them at all? There's not need to umount or touch them when mounting tires.

After long rides at highway speeds, tires do get very hot. If this applies to you, wait a bit & recheck the PSI.
