This! I put new tires on my wife's PRO Tundra, spoke to the tech an the service manager regarding the weights, they assured me they will not cause any damage. Sure as hell when I got it back it was all fawked up. Nice for a set of stock BBS wheels with 1000 miles.

Thanks everybody for your good advices!

For the folk asking about the warning, it roughly says "low tire pressure: X PSI"
From X you will know how bad it is.

I started mine up one morning and for right rear it showed 'ft' (or maybe fl, I didn't have my glasses on). I thought, wtf is 'ft'? I got out and walked around, then it dawned on me, lol. Had a screw in it so I took it off and drove it to the tire shop.

The timing of this thread couldn't 't be more perfect. I has a similar issue on Saturday.

Was taking a drive and hit a pothole just right that it punctured the sidewall. Would not hold air at all. (Luckily, I only have 800 miles on the tires and got them from Tire Rack, so the replacement is covered under the free hazard protection), THANK YOU Tire Rack.

I was near a gas station, so I call the roadside assistance and was towed back home.

Here is where things get interesting...

The car was unloaded from the tow truck and just as I am driving it into my complex and into my stall, I had to go over a speed bump, and when I did, I got "Suspension malfunction" and the MRC stopped working. It feels like it is just riding on the springs now.

So, instead of taking it to a tire shop (after ordering a new tire from Tire Rack), I have to have it towed to the dealer to see whats going on with the suspension.

I have 2 theories...

1.) The tow truck driver damaged something with the MRC system or disconnected a plug.
(I watched him hook it up, I didn't see anything obvious that would cause any damage)

2.) Going over the speed bump with no air in the rear tire, caused a suspension fault.
