Default low tire light

Hey I don't know what's wrong but recently my rear tires got flat so I kinda drove the car to the gas station not to far from home. I have 19" vossen 82 and i have the light on even after filling the air. I tried the button under steering but no help. So i lowered the psi to 29 and how much should i fill back now?(cold temp) and should try pushing the button again once i filled the tires even?

This is actually my 2nd time with same tire going flat, I think there's a nail or something but it takes time to get flat, but anyways the first time the light didn't come on i just felt the car wobbling and noticed it then. I'm gonna get the tire checked out, any help/advice would be appreciated.

thanks

Yeah this sounds like a nail has gone in the tire and maybe letting small amount of air out, happened to me and went to dealer and they plugged it for free! I would say bring it to the dealer and see if they can plug it, unless you want to purchase a new tire.

you shouldn't need to touch that button. Just pump ALL the tires to 35psi. Including the spare in your trunk. Unless it's a donut which likely don't have tpms sensor anyway.

the light is set to go off under 32psi believe. fill it up to 35 and just drive. it will eventually go off.
