Never thought about it, but just checked on amazon, TPMS Reset Tool for my car costs 12 bucks, I was getting charged when I swapped tires. Sounds like a way to save money.

Yep. GM cars, for sure, have a cheap tool that makes it trivial to reprogram TPMS. Some cars will do it themselves, after you swap on a new set of wheels and drive a few miles.

I suspect most cars have a manual process available. Mine does, it takes a while though and involved letting the air out of the tire for 30 seconds, and then setting each tire to a different pressure - in my case the car wants to know which tire is in which position.

Other cars that don't care about that usually just have a button on the dash you can press to start the relearn process.
