I will be making a 1000 mile trip and dot want to drive with my mud terrains. I have my stock set that I am planning to use

now has anybody drives the kk for long with out tmps
I got four used tmps from other kk, if I install them in my extra set do I need to take the car to the dealer to relearn the new sensors or it will pick the signal automatically


any input appreciated

I'm almost positive they reset by themselves within a few miles.
A while ago I had a tire repaired and noticed the light was on. They said drive it and it'll turn off. They were right...

I've heard stories that they just need to be in proximity to reset. You should be fine, especially on a long trip.

I have a Sport, just TPMS light on dash. My winter tires do not have TPMS. My light would reset over night, when parked by the wheels with them. No driving needed.
It would also reset of parked by another vehicle that must have had the same frequency.

I don't really think it does very much anyway. One time, while filling up my tires at a gas station, I had the tire stem shoot out its innards at me after taking the air nozzle away. I think it got caught on the piece some how. Anyway, ended up having to replace the TPMS sensor when they added the new stem. Now I randomly get a TPMS error every now and then when driving long distances, like over 40 miles. Usually turns off after 1 ignition cycle or so. I figured one of the TPMS was just bein glitchy (most likely the newer one). I have between 40psi-45psi in my tires since they're larger tires, which could also cause the TPMS sensors to show an error since stock tire pressure is around 30psi. Either way, I just got in the habit of checking my tire pressure and givin 'em a once over before making long trips.

I'm not sure the gas mileage difference between the stock tires you have and the mudders, but I can't imagine it would be THAT much different. My mpg only dropped about 1 or 2 when I swapped my stocks to AT's. All depends on what you've got for tires. (e.g. Load Range, Tire Pressure, Tread Pattern, Tread Depth, Multi-Ply, etc.)

bf mud terrains 13mpg average city, noise and wear faster
stock 14-15 average city and quiet
plus i am driving a 1600 miles each way from florida to tx and pulling a 6x12 trailer with some stuff.

so i think it will be a waist of mud terrain tread, comfort plus stress on the car towing 1600 miles with mud terrains.

i asked because learned that the kk is very sensitive with electronics and dont want the engine to stall in the middle of no where because a stupid tire sensor.
i know the liability problems evolved with insurance and tmps but i am more worried about the the cars computer limiting speed or performance due to a faulty tire sensor

It hasn't in mine. Drove it on trips with winter tires and no TPMS.
