TPMS a PITA in winter.
We are into the lower temps now .. not to bad .. around -18C and the damned TPMS warning keeps going off..
I know I could just add air but soon as it warms then I have to take some out. Don't get me wrong .. its doable .. I have a compressor with 100' of hose 10' from the car.
Problem is .. once you acknowledge the alarm it goes off again in a bit .. then again and again and again relentlessly.
Acura should have made it so once you acknowledge it then it shows the tire symbol but doesn't alarm again and make the display blink.
Much like if you run aftermarket wheels with no sensors .. it dings once and you acknowledge it and all it does is put the tiny TPMS letters on the tack and no more alarms till after the next startup.
Extreemly annoying as to get the best performance out of winters you need to run them at the lower end of the PSI range or the tires crown in the middle and also have less flexibility. Flexibility is key to having the tread release the snow or your running on slicks when the tread fills up.
