TRD Pro 16” rim tpms question

Thanks in advance for any information. I have a 2019 sr and recently bought 16” trd pro rims. I think I need new tpms sensors, because I currently have steel wheels. Does anyone have experience with this change and know what sensor I need. thanks

 

Yes, you will need different TPMS sensors. Can't tell to the P/N, but I do know that the angle of the sensor is different.

 

Clone your steel wheel OEM sensor IDs to new aluminum wheel Autel or other brand sensors and off you go.

 

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the responses. The more I think about it, the more I think I’m just gonna say forget the sensors and deal with the light. Other than the light, I’m good without them. I might make one of those pvc containers. Thanks again.

 

I’d pay the 100-200 for new sensors because I’d feel stupid putting black electrical tape over a warning light on a new truck. In my old shitbox I didn’t care though.

 

Following. I have a 21TRD OR that I will be putting new wheels with snow tires on next winter. These stock Goodyear Wranglers suck in snowy highway driving.

 

I hope you got the whole wheel and not just the rim.

The angle of the sensor is different for aluminum vs steel which is why you need new ones. Your steel wheels use 20 degree sensor vs 40 degree for aluminum. Technically they would work, but you risk snapping it off when the tire is being installed or removed. If you are buying 4, aftermarket is the way to go. You can get a set of 4 off Amazon for $50 or so.

 

Yeah unfortunately I just got rims, lug nuts and junk tires. Previous owner kept the sensors for his new set up. I have looked. Which brand you recommend, part number would be awesome if you happen to know.

 

Rim is part of the wheel. Think about a bicycle. You have the rim which is the outer part, then you have spokes, and a hub. Same thing for vehicles except we usually don't have spokes. Flatbillers are mostly responsible for the slang calling them rims. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

In any case I got these about a year ago, but the price has gone up -

I'm sure they will work, and Amazon has a great return policy, but it is a major hassle. Whatever ones you get, take them to a tire shop and have them programmed BEFORE they mount them. They will bitch and complain telling you it isn't necessary, but if they don't work it is better to know before they install them and put them on your truck.

 

I already stated which brand.

But you need to go to your local tire shop and ask them what aftermarket TPMS sensors they setup and use. Bringing any sensor to them isn't going to work.

You need to have a tool that reads the OEM sensors, can copies their OEM ID numbers, then clones the aftermarket sensors with the OEM IDs to the aftermarket sensors. Then take your Pro wheels off the truck, roll them out of the way, install your winter set, read and follow your owner's manual on how to reset the TPMS sensor readings, and drive.

 

Great info. I really appreciate all the help. Thanks

 

I'm no fan of multipurpose sensors. I would stick with sensors that are designed to mimic OEM. You can program the codes from the sensors into the TPMS ECU either via the handheld device or techstream. The reason I don't like the universal sensors is that they don't always fit the wheels properly. Not to mention that with the programable sensors, they can lose their programing. I would use them if I had a second set wheels that I used occasionally such as winter tires. That way you don't have to reprogram the ecu when you swap them.
