Best tires for ice
Frank on my 04 TB I ordered from tirerack narrow tall tires mounted on steel wheels and delivered to door for $450. They were Winter Force a Blizzak knock off. Very good deep tread and heavily siped. The TB went everywhere every day.
New PU have $750 tied up in steel wheels, air pressure monitors and studded Master Craft deep lugs and heavily siped. These are also a tall narrow tire. These I had to purchase components 3 different places. Local company studded the tires and mounted.
Try tires r us (just kidding)! tirerack.com

The TB has directional tires heavy sipes and deep lugs, Tire warehouse wheels tires mounted balanced and delivered $450. The PU used wheels, pressure monitors deep lugs studded heavily siped. 3 Different sources $750. P/U winters are narrow and slightly smaller diameter but closest fit with narrow truck tires. Tires are only on Thanksgiving to Mid March.

Best tires for ice
Ken I found the tpms things for a chev, they had every type, for 35$. My pick up it took some reading but I remove all valve caps, turn the ignition to on hold in lock and unlock buttons same time horn sound 2x then I walk let air out of tire lf, rf,rr,lr, let air out till hear 1 beep horn move to next tire. Then I refill tires to proper pressure. Only need to let out 3-5 # whole thing less than 2 minutes.
I'll look and find tpms place. I bought steel wheels from a large auto salvage/parts place for $50 apeice they were brand new with spare tire taken off.
Here's the place: http://revolutionsupply.com/

Frank Canada has a point about the cold. It is possible your inflations are at the bottom edge of psi rating of the electronics.
Check with guadge before moving and compare the 2 #'s. Check after driving and compare #'s
Mine vary almost 5psi. cold on pu is 41 psi front and rear winter tires, (35 psi summer tires). After run fronts will be 45 and rears 44 +/-.
I have only checked the after markets 2x. The factory ones were new toy and I checked them many times.
My light only came on 1x I had nail in tire and it did not come on until it had lost 8-10 PSI.
Don't know your sizes but the 2004 TB with 17's was 34 front and 32 rear. Not have psi system in them. The winter tires are around 36 psi. Not the same thought as years ago to soften tires during winter. I keep them up so the tread stays open. I check by wetting tire and drive on concrete floor.

Ken I think the OEM from there where $80+ for chev. I got the knock offs.
What does the dealer/tire book say about rotating tires. Until I did some reading I also believed I had to go to dealer. Not saying that not the case with yours. Also I'd check with the tire installer.
