Your pressure sensor is set to go off below around 28 PSI. Almost all tires are design to run above that.vigil said:Don't different tires have different PSI recommendations?
If you get the RAV4 sport's 18" rim, they will definitely fit or you can try call tire rack. They have pretty good customer support and they may be able to tell you which rims will fit the RAV4's TPMS.michael said:Thanks for the info... not sure it can be fit on the aftermaket . I would like to upgrade from 17" to 18".
Unless the 06 uses the same wheel as some previous vehicle, I wouldn't expect there to be too much selection out there just yet in the aftermarket vendors. Most people don't go looking for new rims a couple months after the vehicle came out.inlets said:I use to like Tire Rack too. But, they have NOTHING at all what so ever for the 06 RAV4. No tires. No wheels. I e-mailed their customer service about after market wheels and tires for the RAV4. They said thanks for your inquiry. (call back in a year or so) I'm still looking for some nice wheels and tires for my RAV.
I just went on tirerack.com and was able to select my rav sport and even change the color to super white and look at wheels.

Your right!! This system is an "Active System" which requires it to be recalibrated when you rotate your tires and if you put on larger tires that require different air presure.vigil said:Don't different tires have different PSI recommendations?
So unless you are going with a new rim that uses the same size tires as stock and use the same PSI recommendations, won't the sensor need to be adjusted to trigger when the different PSI level threshold is crossed?
Kind of like having to re-adjust the speedo calibration when putting on larger or smaller diameter rims right?
The G Man said:No theres no re-calibration, the TPMS alarms when 1 of the goes below 28 PSI, and thats it.
This must be a "low tech" system that is one up from the ABS air-presure system. A true active system like PAX will have separate readings for each wheel. Recalibrating this system tells the computer which location the wheel is in. Mostly found on run-flat tire set-ups and high-end luxury.flyingn said:how do you have to recalibrate when you rotate? Its the same 5 tires. It detects a low or high pressure on one of the tires.. It does not matter where the tires are..
inlets said:Doesn't the system tell which tire is low like w/ some sort of dash read out? Like LF, RF, LR ,RR it can't just state low tire pressure and you're suppose to guess. which one.
