Default Just a heads up

I took the snow tires off of my truck today. While setting the tire sensors and filling the summer tires with air. I decided to check the spare tire pressure. It was 13PSI! I have had the truck for 6 years and don't think I had ever checked the spare. Do yourself a favor. Check that spare.

Tell me more about "setting the tire sensors". Does that have to do with correlating them with their location on the vehicle?

What kind of truck?

It is programing the tire/wheel location on the truck. 2019 GMC Sierra.

This is what I imagine when I see an abandoned car on the shoulder of the road with 3 wheels and a jack under it. Someone realized that they have 2 flat tires, the one they removed and the spare they never checked.
