Question for y'all...

I have a 2021 Hyundai Palisade, and got winter tires+wheels+TPMS installed last November. When I drove off the lot, I noticed the tire pressures were reading 39 PSI at all 4 corners, so I checked with a gauge, and they were all at 36 PSI (recommended is 35).

So I figured it was just a 'reading error', and then checked again a week later, and found the same thing - I then forgot about it.

Yesterday I found a nail in a tire so while booking the appointment to get it fixed (same place I bought the setup), I asked about the TPMS, and they want $120 to 're-program'.

My understanding from Google is with newer Hyundai/Kias, there's no "programming" for the actual car. ie. the car will find each sensor and read/display them.

That said, is there a method of re-calibrating the sensors themselves? Reading 3~4 PSI over isn't a big deal, but it also does mean the sensor will trip later when the actual pressure is lower than the trigger point.

Any thoughts?
