RESOLVED: issues with resetting TMPS

I installed my winter wheels on my car a few weeks ago and forgot to check the tire pressure (sounds stupid, i know).
Anyways, visually tires looked fine, and i was driving like that for a few weeks but a couple of days ago it got a bit colder (-10C) and a TPMS warning light came on... i checked the tire pressure and all four tires where down to 25 PSI (at +1C) so i inflated all four tires to 32 PSI (as per spec for 255/55/r18 tires), reset my TMPS sensor by pressing the button on the dashboard for about 3-5 sec. started driving and the light stayed on even after driving for 3 km...
From what i understand our cars are not equipped with TMPS sensors and the computer just measures the wheel rolling speed to determine if the tires are properly inflated, so what might be causing the light to stay on even after i tried resetting it?
