TPMS

buying new wheels and tires soon and wondering if it is really necessary to get tpms sensors installed still and if not what are the repercussions, if any at all? Also, what have some of you other guys done once getting new wheels and tires?

thanks

 

Repercussion is a flashing light on the dash.

 

^Yep. And losing the ability for your truck to tell you when a tire is low.

Swap the sensor on the old wheels to the new ones.

 

What year is your truck?

 

even if the size of the wheel and tire are different?

 

2012

 

Then you might as well get the new sensors transferred over. Hardly costs anything.

 

get the sensors i have now transferred to the new wheels?

 

As long as you don't have steelies they should swap. I swapped mine from my 16s to my 17s.

 

Yes.

 

Yep! That's exactly it. It looks like this and is inside the wheel. It can be transferred with a "rebuild" kit that any tire shop should have

 

Thats what I did, worked perfectly for the last 8 months

 

You just wanted a reason to show off your truck

 

Don't we all?

 

Hell yeah we do!!

 

how much does the average shop charge to transfer the sensors

 

Will they be mounting and balancing your new tires?

 

was actually looking at these wheels lol but all black..and my truck is MGM...

 

Mine were included at 4wheelparts, but I also bought my tires from them and let them align it. They'd probably swap them for you for like 4 bucks per tire

 

was gonna order them from customoffsets already mounted and balanced with sensors in them
