TPMS Reset After Tire Rotation
Has anyone rotated their tires without resetting the TPMS? Any adverse effects if not doing so?
I rotated the tires yesterday at the 10,000 mile mark after noticing a bit of accelerated wear on the rear tires and was expecting a warning or idiot lite in the message center. After reading the owners manual the process of resetting the TPMS requires driving the vehicle before starting the reset procedure. I decided it would be more convenient if I made the reset upon returning home from work today. All went fine but a pain in the butt since all tires needed air to return them to the proper pressures after the process.
Wondering how many people actually do a reset.

I always do the reset when I rotate my tires. maybe I don’t need after reading some comments on here? It’s very easy to do as stated in the owners manual.

from the 2016 manual....
Drive the vehicle above 20mph for a couple miles.
park and turn key off.
turn key on but engine off.
turn flashers on then off 3 times within 10 seconds.
horn will beep and message will appear in message center.
beginning with left front tire release air until the horn beeps once.
continue in a clockwise rotation for each of the other wheels LF>RF>RR>LR.
after all wheels are complete the message center will indicate "TPMS reset complete"

I have to reset after each tire rotation because door placard states 80 psi rear 65 psi front for a 2013 F350. Even if tire pressures are the same you should reset. If you do not reset and have a TPMS issue in the future the codes won’t match actual tire position.

Do you really drive around with 80 psi in your tires? Ford sets it at max psi expecting you to load a house in the back of your truck!! You could easily get away with 65psi all around and avoid the warning [assuming you don't have a house in the back of the truck]. I roll with 35psi, warning light on but enjoying a more half ton like ride out of my big duty.

Is that a typo or do you really run 35 psi in your 10 ply tires? I personally wouldn't go that low but do run 65 all around. Softens the ride a bit but still enough to haul a trailer around without worry of tire damage.

I agree with you eberlestock on dropping the rears to 65 for a better ride. I keep them at the door placard 80 psi because I routinely use it as a work truck. I may not be hauling a house but I am just under the Max Cargo Wt on a regular basis. 80 psi keeps that sidewall nice and stiff and will prevent inner tire and sidewall damage. Have never had a blowout.
