    So I want to have 2 sets of tires, highway and beach/fun set.

    Now changing the tires myself isn't an issue. But I wanted to get a new set of TPMS for my second sets that can clone with codes of the OEM TPMS. That way, no reprogramming, and the TPMS will actually work - do not want to black tape 'fix' it.

    I've read a ton about the EX-Sensor 34500 Schrader with the 34000 fit kit for the Gen 3 Tacomas with alloy wheels, but can't seem to find any local car tire place that even knows what I'm talking about. When I ask if the have TPMS that can clone the code from the originals, not only do they not seem to know what I'm talking about, they look at me like I don't speak any for of a language they understand.

    Because one set will have a wildly different pressure, I know I'll have to do the 'reset' button each time, but that's fine as long as they actually work.

    Schrader EZ-Sensor is supposed to work to Tacomas from 2016-2023 and that model came out in 2011 - I think.

    I'm located in Charleston, SC and have no problem driving 100 miles to get to a shop that can actually clone the codes. I just don't want have to change the codes every time I switch out the tires.

    Anyone know of a place? I know most tire shops are too busy to answer the phone and the new guy who just got there will probably be the one that answers and they don't seem to know much at all.

    Anyone? I tried calling Discount Tire that's closest to me, but they had no idea what I was talking about. I think because I'm in a state where winter tires aren't needed, they just don't have them here?

    I work for Monro muffler and brake but under the name The Tire Choice in Florida, we carry several different ones at my shop with the tool to program them so I would assume our northern stores do as well. I think if you search Monro muffler and brake you might be able to find a store locator.

    There's one about 50 miles away and will call mañana - I hope they have them. I'll gladly drive 50 miles for cloned TPMS. And they have Michelin LTX MS2, which is what I want for my highway set. - thank you.
