    All that magic electronic stuff inches above the water, amazing that they run at all...

    Guess I'm behind the times, when I think "outboard" it is more like:

    This works well for those who have winter/summer or highway/mud tires. Doesn’t really apply if you’re doing a 5 tire rotation. Honestly, tagging and doing Stream isn’t complicated. Just adds 2-5 minutes to maintenance.

    Yup, the aftermarket TPMS can be programmed as duplicates to mimic the failed/damaged/dead TPMS. They can get the old code from either scanning the old or by reading the stored codes. Essentially they are creating different two sets of the same codes. The only issue I have heard of is when they are too near, they will read incorrect tires.

    That’s a lot to accomplish in a day… but I like it. If a guy were to set out with that intention every day even if you didn’t accomplish it, but put in effort you’d still be ahead.
