3 day old mustang gt, swapped wheels and tires and all seemed good; I've got around 100 miles on the new wheels and tires and it was nice that I didn't have to reset the TPMS sensors; it just picked up the new pressures and all is well.
The tires started out at 37PSI but settled in at 30 for 3 and 28 for one. I added air today, putting them at about 37. Car picked up the new pressures as well and it matches my air gauge both before - a good sign. I take off and drive; about 20 miles later, one of my rear sensors goes offline and shows a fault. I notice the pressures had been creeping up, but thought nothing of it, that's normal. Then the other rear tire sensor goes offline. A good 10 minutes later, the first one that went offline was back on and was showing 39PSI. The second one didn't come back online until after the car was back in the garage and sat for a bit.
My *guess* here is that the TPMS sensors fault at 40PSI? My front pair got to 38 and 39PSI, but I've not yet seen any of them tip over 40, so that lends to the conclusion.
