First Service--TPS
Had my first service (4500 miles) and 20" tires rotated last week. When I left the dealer front tires were 68 front and rear 64 on TPS . Normally run 65 rear and 60 front. First thought was dealer did not reset TPS or checked the air.
Waited til next day and all tires read 62 with manual tire gage. TPS was off 4-5 LBS either way on all tires. Whats normal? Does service reset the TPS when rotating? Or is the TPS a little worthless? Fronts are still reading 5 LBS more that rear on TPS. Manual air gage reads all tires at 60 LBS.

Did you ever figure anything out on this?
I happen to have one wheel reading ~5-7 psi lower than what i get when I check it. I checked all the other wheel and they match.
I only have 2000 miles on it. This only has showed up in the past couple of days, before that it read correct. Do TPS go bad? I know the batteries in them die in ~7 years (based on past cars that have had TPS)
FYI: I have a 2017 F250 CCSB, Lariat, 6.2, 4x4, 20" wheels, BAK MX4

Probably good for giving you a heads up when getting a flat tire. I don't put much faith in them normally.

I have had one wheel that's reading ~5 -7 PSI low and I keep looking for a nail (paranoia) thinking that it may be reading correct, even though the gauge is telling me its off.
Based on the drive to work this morning, all the other tires went up a few PSI, this one only increased by one PSI. Just an annoyance on a new truck. Tire shop would swap it out in minutes w/o an appointment, dealership will turn it into an all day affair.
i'll keep on eye on it and do a better check to make sure there's nothing in the tire and check to see if is a valve stem leak or something.
It's nice to know when a tire is loosing pressure so you can get it fixed before you have to change it on the side of the road in the winter.
