Hi, all. It seems I have found a bug or issue after swapping to winter wheels.

I swapped my 20"summer tires for 19" winner tires. I put vredestein winterac pro plus for better than all season snow driving (I know it's uhp winter and not a true winter tire, but tire rack rates it quite well for all situations.) I bought the compatible tpms sensors, and they are working fine. I changed wheels to 19" winter tires in the UI.

I drove it around to check everything and I noticed that there is now a warning for rear parking warning error and the feature is unavailable. I did the type change myself, and I have plenty of experience from working in a mechanic shop in my college days and doing everything on my cars since 16 years of age from timing belts to clutches to axles. I am very careful about sensors, so I can't see how I knocked a wheel sensor out of place. Nothing changed on the rear bumper and my cameras and sensors look clean. I've tried the mic+ X+ brake reset. It's nearly impossible to get an appointment at Tysons corner, so I'd rather resolve it myself if I can;last time I had to get mobile service from Philly.

Additionally, the recommended type pressure still says 42psi even though 19 inch wheels are selected. I saw in not the only one who has this issue, so just wondering if it's resolved.
 
I change out my tires every November (2023 Air Pure awd, 52,000 miles).

I think the error (rear parking) is a coincidence and has nothing to do with your tire swap. The pressure is a known problem that has not yet been fixed. I believe service (either mobile or at a Service Center) will be needed to clearr the rear parking error.

Could be, but interesting that I have the exact same issue from the exact same situation.

So it is possible that something happened this time that didn’t occur last winter. Yes. Is it likely? I wouldn’t think so.

Edit
Sent a text to my tech and he just saw this occur yesterday. He says it’s being investigated and I should try setting the wheels to 19” all season and see if that clears the message. I’m going to try that later today but thought I’d pass this on in case it helps anyone else.

As usual YMMV

When you swaped the tires does the system prompt you to change the tire configuration?

I am about to change into all season tires on my gravity and called the SC they told me to call customer service HQ to have the update push to my vehicle so I can change the tire setting.

I have two sets of wheels and the car already had the settings. I did Hugo into the menu and selected the winter tires and 19”.

If you have never had alternate wheels then you may need to get an update.

Yeah, I believe the Air's UI let's you change the tires' size but the Gravity's doesn't, CS has to do it for us
 
I have different sets as well - changed every season by Belle Tire. My UX doesn't provide for a change in tire size. Spoke with CS last year, but we decided it wasn't worth dealing with. No error codes, diameters should be the same, so we just let the car think I'm still on summer tires.
 
Anyone know if this has been fixed or still occurs with Gravity’s ? I’m getting Tire Rack to install new rims and tires tomorrow and switching from the 22/23 size to a 21/22.
 
What’s the rationale for not allowing the owner to make this simple switch themselves?
 
Ok so, in the air, if you select 19” winter wheels and you get the error message then just go and set the tires to all season and it clears:
Tire pressure warning
Backup protection error

Thanks to my tech, Rick! Awesome guy.

Dang. Feels like we might be on the same boat. I'm going from 22/23 to 20/21 all season

They told me this option only available for Air but for gravity I need to call the Phoenix HUb to push through software 1-888-9958243

Correct I was still on the op’s original question
