Default LOW TIRE PRESSURE

hey whatsup guys,
tuday i bought brand new tires for my montecarlo and about 1 mile into driving my car the LOW TIRE signal flashed and is still on. My front left tire looks a bit low but i cant find my tire gauge and im too annoyed by all the little details that have been going on with my car. The guy at the tire shop says that i need an alignment. I guess tomorow ill take it to my dad, but i wouldnt mind anyones help.
thanx!

P.S. dont take calculus-II in a summer session, it's stressful.

DEUCE!!

on a 00-05 if you dont reset your tire light after: replacing tires, replacing wheels, rotating tires, or even just adjusting the tire pressure to be right at recommended pressure, you may tigger the low tire light to come on. basicly, reset the tire light whenever you touch em.

Turn key to ON but don't start the car,turn parking lights on and off 3 times within 5 seconds and system should reset.I had the same thing happen on my 2000 and those are the instructions in the owner's manual.New tires change the rotation slightly and that is what the monitering system reads on the 2000-2005 cars.

Yup, that really all you can do is to make sure the pressure is correct and that there are no leaks in the mounting. After that, reset the monitor sensor and you should be cool.
