And was the installation done a while ago? Have you already driven a few miles since then?
Yes, its been about 300-400 miles and a couple of weeks. Done all the resets and even the tire swap option.

'23 Rivian R1T
New wheels/tires installed by Discount Tire a few days after getting my '25 R1S. Since the Gear Shop did not have any available at the time I had Discount Tire install what they stock. It has been a month now and 3-400 miles and they are still not sync'ing up. At the 3rd trip back to Discount to verify they are working, and right frequency, they told me I would have to get Rivian branded sensors; there was no more they could do.

Gear Shop still does not have TPMS senders in stock. I thought the whole idea with TMPS is they are not proprietary...as long as you had the right frequency.
I have been through many wheel changes on many vehicles over the years and have never had them not work-generic or otherwise.

Anyone find after-market senders that work, or found a way to 'force' syncing? I have even done the wheel change option in 2025.06.30 but still get the 'service immediately' warning for the TPMS.
Did you get the TPMS sensor(s) from Discount Tire working? I had a TPMS sensor replaced 300 miles ago at Discount Tire (Rivian wanted my truck for five days to replace the sensor), but I'm having sync issues.

No, I finally got some from Gear Shop (had been on back-order).
Discount was really good; installed them and refunded me for the DT ones

Do yourself a favor and just get the Rivian ones. If you still have issues you have Rivian's support. Discount will always just blame the Rivian and Rivian will blame the DT sensors.
