How the hell do i take off a tire if i have a tire pressure monitoring system. I took off the lugs but can't get the tire off still. Anybody know? Please help. (hand)

I don't have a tire pressure monitering system, but the first time I took off the wheels on my P5 they were stuck. I ended up kicking the tire a few times and the wheel popped off. :)

Maybe it's just stuck.

Yeah, they get stuck. TPMS has nothing to do with it. Get a rubber mallet or a dead blow hammer and smack it on the back of the wheel. Once you get it off, clean all the white corrosion off and lubricate the hub with some anti-seize compound (don't get any on your brakes!).
