I checked the TP on all four tires and noticed the front tires were down a bit (30, 31) so I pumped them up to 35 PSI, restarted the car, drove around the block (over 16 MPH) and still on.

Things to note: My winters are not 215/55/17 but 215/60/16. Basically, I went down to the S model wheel size for winters to save a few bucks. Also, it's a cold day today (first one since tires were installed) so tire pressure would drop due to the temp.

Maybe I need to inflate to 40 PSI on all four tires and drive around and wait to see if it turns off....max PSI is 44 on the winters.

another FYI, winter tires are Toyo Observe G-02.

I'll keep you posted.
Did you put the tire pressure monitors into the wheels that you put the snow tires on? If you didn't you will always have a light on. The sensors are in each wheel.
