are you sure it isnt just a wheel bearing assembly that needs to be replaced?
There is also a controller for the entire electronic brake control system(EBCM IIRC) I have not heard of a check tire alert or code ever on these cars.....just the individual wheel bearing assembly w/module and also the ebcm but that is all for the abs system. I dont know that what your tuner guy told you is true or not. With the proper code reader, it will tell you which tire it is.
