bought a new 09 z roadster (grand touring). have about 2900 miles on it and have taken it in twice due to the tpms indicating (falsely) that I have a low tire. Bankston Nissan says it is the low profile tires and temp changes. Tires have the pur gen nitrogen (dealer installed). Anyone having tpms problems?

I had the same problem with my 08 350Z when it was new - kept getting a low tire pressure indication. Yet, all 4 tires where dead on recommended tire pressure. I took it back to the dealership several times. They would reset it and it would come back on within 10 minutes after leaving. Every other indication showed that all 4 sensors were working properly but they changed each wheel until they found the bad sensor. Once they replaced the wheel I've never had a problem.

Thread revival! Did they replace the whole wheel or just the sensor in the wheel? Thanks!

It should just be the sensor, when I had to get mine replaced it was the driver rear
