I'll update. Bought some 2016 Tundra wheels for cheap on FB market place. Because the tires are over five years old had to find an independent shop to switch my Michelin tires to the other rims. Mentioned ahead of time about the TPMS light. Shop wanted me to provide new sensors which said they had problems with non OEM replacements. I found plenty of them on eBay using the OEM number. Set of four were only $40. I asked the shop to identify which sensor was bad on the original rims. Turned two of the four were bad. Probably batteries since their was no damage to the wheels. Because I was switching tires figured it was a cheap fix. Only put 60K miles since I bought 2010 in 2013. Most of those are highway miles. Figure the light coming which on the highway may make the difference between having a nail hole fixed or replacing a tire. Front would be easy to detect while driving. The back not so much. Rim riding on the sidewall the tire is trashed.
