Changed tires but run flat indicator reappeared

My GLK is approaching 50,000 KM. Yesterday while driving, the warning light came on (red) indicating I had low tire pressure. Sure enough, the front right wheel was flat. I decided to change the front 2 tires as they had significant wear compared to the back 2.


All was fine until I was driving back home from work today. I drove about 12 km after I change the 2 front tires. The warning came on again! I checked the 4 tires and they all seemed pretty tight.


I read that it may be normal for the warning to come on if you change tires and that the computer has to adjust itself. Does this seem right? When I got the flat yesterday, it was noticeably flat but checking today, everything seemed fine. Could it be the other 2 tires in the back?


Any thought or advice would be much appreciated.


Thanks.

I have a 2010 and I did reset it on the dash. Drove around 15 km today again and it didn't come on yet so hopefully it's all good.
