And I would like to thank you alohasurftoad for his valuable advise as below. Will switch to his recommended tire sizes maybe next year as the thread on the tires are pretty much good fit another 20k miles.

Quote” i'd get the 513M, because less people have them, they are lighter(than 437M) and will have a better ride and impact protection. the tire size combo i'd do is 255/40/18+285/35/18 OR 235/45/18+265/40/18 OR 245/40/18+275/35/18 if lowered.”unquote

if you have the proper tpms. a reset should have been done when you put the new wheels on. go into vehicle settings and do a reset. it has to be done with the car in motion.

Hey buddy I did the several time but it ain’t worked. I took it to the mechanic shop and they even tried to put computer to reset it but in vain.

He told me that these M wheels sensors are not compatible with your car.

Do you recall anyone switching M wheels encountered the same issue?

Many thanks 🙏

the sensors on your new wheels need to be the same tpms sensors as your original OEM sensors, either HUF or VDO. these are what they look like. one is 315MHz, the other is 433MHz. if the new and old sensors are the same, then idk.

If your car is 2013 it has HUF. the 513M is very likely to have VDO and that is why it is not working. please check.

Definitely different. So can I buy new HUF sensors and replace them with VDO?

personally, i would get genuine HUF but we here don't mind if you "take one for the team" and let us know if it works. especially since the autel is much cheaper than genuine HUF tpms.
