Yes, I just went out and checked the spare rims that came off of the wifey's 08, not TPM on the spare. I just put new BFG's on my 07 and it has one on the spare though. Who know's.

I also got the alignment with the new tires, thought because it is a bigger tire that it should have one. Was I wrong and just made a donation to them? The one good thing about the new tires is that I get the FREE rotations for 50,000 miles and they include the spare. Also, they reprogrammed the TPM's correctly, still haven't seen a warning on the DIC

 

well...do't put that much faith in the TPS system anyway, I don't have any sensors and have got 3 error messages in over a year and a half.

The vette system is completely different BTW..not the same animal at all.

Getting an alignment done when going to a bigger tire couldn't hurt...won't help much and is not needed but if it gave you peace of mind then no harm doneHitting a pothole can throw off your alignement so it doesn't take much to throw it off a degree or two....yearly alignments should be done on a 4x4 anyway. I haven't had one doneon the h3 yet and at speeds over 60 mph it feels like your gonna die...death wobble and lane weaving are insane...I need tog get it done soon.

 

my 08' didn't have the TPM sensor on the spare either....and the dealership said it was supposed to and put one on it......go figure...

 

I figurred they where just trying to get more money out of me.What's the sense of having a full size spare if you don't include it in the roatation.

 

You should always use a full size spare on an all wheel drive vehicle just like you should always use the same size tires on an axle with a limited slip or traditional locking differential...... not to mention it would look silly to have a yellow doughnut hanging on the tailgate.
