What is the difference between the Autel tool you bought and Carista, Techstream and ATEQ mentioned on that thread?
I don't do frequent tire swaps, only when they wear out. Factory tires lasted until now and they had half the thread left but a nasty puncture that kept leaking forced me into a new set. That said, I don't might owning a tool that will allow doing my own maintenance.

Carista was the way I was going to go in the beginning but you have to pay for any time you use it, one month at a time. So you'd pay $10 to get it working again to do a tire change and have services for a month and then pay $10 again to change the tires back. It didn't add up for me personally.
Techstream would be perfect if you didn't need a laptop to run it and all of the copies didn't seem super sus.
ATEQ (i believe) can only go back and forth between two sets.
I don't track my car but have four sets of wheels right now lol. And I've given two away. I don't know why this car has brought this on me but I'm not complaining either lol. I am about to whittle it all down to two sets though. Just the volks for non-winter and sparcos for winter. I'm gonna sell my Konigs and stockers which all have TPMS sensors with matching IDs so I never have to do anything but program the sensors when I order them.
Hopefully all of that info helps
