Glad I searched for TPMS before posting... I just got a new set of tires. On the way home, I wondered, "How much pressure did they put in?". At a stop light I checked and couldn't believe my eyes: 3 @ ~40psi and 1 @ ~50!. Puzzled, I left the display on that screen and continued home.
Then all of a sudden, my 50lb front right jumped to the left!
I checked at home and confirmed the front left was the high one. The car auto learns!
If you are curious, I run 22s and set them all to about 48psi. Checked the display afterward and two were 46 and one 47. Close enough.

@Janky , I'm curious why you're running the higher pressures and what your experience is with that. My 22 SPP has 22's from the factory and is recommending 39 psi F/R.

I've always run the higher pressure because I do a lot of highway miles. Seems to ride fine. Good point though - maybe I should try 40 and see if I notice any difference.

I imagine the higher pressure may help mileage too. Have you noticed the centers of your tread wearing down more than out towards the shoulders?

Nope. I bought the rig with 32k and just turned over 48k - pretty even treadwear. I think the tires (both factory and my new Geolanders) list 50psi as max. If checking them cold I'd put them at 45 just to be safe.
