I'm planning to have two sets of wheels for the car: summer and winter. The summers will probably be my autox tires, but I don't think that matters for this. I'd prefer to not just have the sad tire pressure light on in the car for half of the year. After some searching, I found http://clonemytpms.com/ , which I think can (as it says on the tin) make me a duplicate set of sensors. If I do that and then have them mounted in my second set of wheels, am I correct in thinking that I just won't have to worry about it again?

The other option seems to be to have the car paired to the new set of sensors when I swap, or to buy a tool to do that. The tools look like they're not that expensive, but that looks like more hassle than a one time purchase and having it work.

Sorry if this is a duplicate. I think I searched appropriately, but maybe not? Point me in the right direction if so, please

You are correct. Never seen that site before but if they are sending you the scanner to get the codes then I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Not sure how it compares in price with what a dealer would charge you though.
