    You don’t get it. Snow tires.

    You buy a second set of wheels, and its more expensive to add TPMS so you don’t and you just get the light 4 months of the year.

      Have snow tires, don’t have this issue. If I didn’t have that measurement thing then I could just reset the system to zero.

        It only happens if you have a separate set of rims for your snow tires (and those rims have no TPMS sensors installed)

          I’m not sure how the terminology works in English. I change the tires I open the bolts and take the tire off and it just has that small round metal part left where the brake is and that the bolts attach to. If without rims means just the rubber part then I haven’t really seen that sort of tire changing where I live. I wonder how you change such tires yourself, the rubber part seems pretty firmly in place

            Oh so you are changing the rims in fact. Not sure why you’re not getting a tire pressure warning in that case, either the second set of rims has sensors, or there’s something wrong with the system

            But to answer your question, around here most people who only change the tires (rubber) and re-use the same rims (metal) have it done professionally. It’s not impossible to do it at home but it’s generally not worth the trouble
