I just got an 08 H2 and put my aftermarket 22 inch rims with nitto terra grapplers tires. My tire pressure sensors finally after like 3 days figured out I had new rims on. Hah so much for the sensor knowing whats going on. I could have gotten a flat and it wouldnt have known for 3 days!
Anyways I got the idiot light on the dash now. Can you just take the valve out of the stock tires and put them into the aftermarket tires? Should a tire shop do this or can it manually be done?
Thanks in advance.

I just decided to rotate my tires and at the same time remove the tires from the rims to rotate the inner side of the tire to the out side.. I took this to a local tire shop and when done the TPM light when on... I took this back to the shop and the owner stated they did not know how to fix.. so i took it to the Discount tire shop and they resent the system with this little unit that made the computer recognize the sensors.. but at the end the light never when off... we did all the routine of turn on and off the lights 4 tims.. till the beeps.. then start with the front left tire until another beep and so on with all four tires.. but the lights its still on... what else do i need to doo??

Here's your sign: If you could drive around on a flat for 3 days and not know it without your TPSM telling you, PLEASE, sell your truck! (And burn your driver’s license!)

I also got Orange TPMS in my car, it is nice. they are using "TP-checker" as their retro-fit TPMS brand, and oec as their OE replacement sensor.
They have a formula team for Formula Nippon this year in Japan, and very good score for the racing.
it also showing the good quality product in the formula racing.
I love it in my car now.
More important, i love it, because it response very fast, i tried to deflate the tires, it show alert within 3 seconds everytime, very good.
You may see some below information from here, you can see more about the product.
I bought one Orange TPMS from US Auto Parts. I found US Auto Parts sells the cheapest TPMS. For other brand, I found most of the internal units are more than $200. This one is only $170. More importantly, it's universal for all passenger car models. I think it's worthy and cheap for me.
Orange TPMS is easy to install. Only need to install sensors and plug in the cigar jet. Then the little kit works. Unlike most of other TPMS, they need some extra cable. Not friendly enough. Moreover, Orange unit tested in many racing car (Formula Renault, Honda Le-Manz 24 hrs) I like speed so much, I was wondering if the speed goes too high and it doesn't work. It seems speed not a problem for it.
Continental Tire mentioned TPMS can reduce fuel consumption. It?s a great info for me. I saw the crude gasoline has been $140 today. I need to drive 2 hrs per day. Saving fuel consumption is also a good news for me.
Also, I heard that flat tire is the biggest reason of non-human factor accident. Watching my tire is another reason I need TPMS.
First I am not a Hummer owner, however I have the same issue with these tpms sensors. While searching the net I came across a tpms sensor made by a chinese company Alibaba. They sell their products in large lots, ( wholesale ) anyway these sensors are external, screw on the valve stem as a cap and come also in a security version. My question has anyone heard of these things and know where they can be purchased in the good ole USA? Of course the most important question can our factory installed monitors recognize and use them? For a lot of us who change our wheels around, or for what ever reason do not want to be held hostage to the internal units, plus all the tire joints that are not up to speed or do not have the resources to stock every flipping kind of unit and their hardware. As most of you know a lot of these employees are very good at wrestling tires however they are not rocket scientists and I'm sure the dealers do not want to pay the wages of the latter. Any in put?
