I have a set of new wheels on the way (not Mustang).

For reasons not worth the wear on my keyboard to explain, I'm buying tires from Costco. Costco will not install TPMS they don't sell you. Figure better to do it myself than fight with them over it if its easy to do right without damaging them or the wheels. I suspect its simple but don't want to trial and error.

Can't find a single YouTube video that isn't REPLACING a TPMS on used wheels and typically tires on to start. Even if I use all caps for the -REPLACE filter. LoL

As long as the tire isn't mounted when you install them. But yeah it can be done.

Some people need a little reset/connection tool thing off Amazon.

Thanks.

Wheels and TPMS are both brand new; no tires.

If I understand the reset part, my car and TPMS auto pair.
