Tire Pressure monitor on high altitude places

[cidar]

Guys

I live on a city over 11000 f, I have the tire pressure light always on, in my Renny, so i checked the tire pressure, the mechanic guy told me that on high altitude i must use less pressure on the wells (30psi instead of 34psi)

So i'm wondering if there is a way to reset this annoying light. or change the valor of low tire pressure of it.

Anyone whit the same problem ?

Hmm, here's a possible solution. Here's a thread where someone has the exact same problem with a different platform: http://www.planet-9.com/cayman-boxster-tech/44372-tpms-tire-guage-high-altitude.html

Read the post where the guy quoted Tirerack.com's recommended solution.

Once you get that fixed ... use nitrogen gas instead of air in your tires whe nyou do your tire changes ... Nitrogen gas does not overreact to cold and heat as much so maybe im thinking it might be a bit better in altitude also ... ?

IIRC the PSI change from 0*F to 100*F was like +2 psi in air VS Nitrogen
thus not worth it
and REALLY not worth it if you are dropping the air out of your tires off road
