17" TRD Pro rims and BFG AT TKO2s...

FWIW, I run mine at 36. Great wear and mileage.

I was thinking around 34 to 35. With all the posts available, it comes down to what feels good to the driver and what you are willing to compromise between fuel economy and wear. When I had the tires installed yesterday, the mechanic put in 29 psi. I questioned him about it. He just said that's whats recommended. I figured ok, a starting point. Now find the sweet spot that works for me. Thanks for your input.

 

BJs installer broke one sensor. Just priced it from a dealer, $90. Plus he tells me these are serialized. Meaning the new sensor needs to be programmed into the vehicle. About 30 minutes and & $50.

Expensive breakage for BJs.

Unless BJs has the system and software, I need to go to the dealer?

Anyone confirm?

 

Yes, as far as I know, they have to be programmed to the vehicle. When I swapped to alloys from the steels I used the same sensors, but had to "flip" them. The dealer had to tear down the tires/wheels to get the serial numbers and re-program them. 140 bucks. 90 bucks each sounds high. I think you can get the Toyota parts for around 60. Several suppliers and part numbers here on TW.

I called another dealer and same price, $88.17 for the sensor for alloy wheels.

 

Here you go.

I have used them before and they are good. That is the correct part number for alloy wheels.

Here it is again.

The first line, BamWholesale.com will get you there. 4260706030 is the correct part number.

Still not working. Not sure why. Go to BamWholesale .com
59.10 each.

I also found TPMS.com. Pacific is the mfr, same as the broke one in my hand, $53.25 each.

Thanks

 

A few more shots of the “grey” version I just installed. Tough looking, but also just plain gorgeous to look at. No regrets.

 

Looks dope!! kinda wish i did the gray now

 

Thanks. For the record, when I see the black, I kinda wish I had that. There is no one right answer I guess.

 

ill give you 2 blacks for 2 grays? Left side black and right side gray, best of both worlds? haha

 

Teamwork FTW.

 

So BJs does not have the codes to scan my tire air pressure sensor. They need to download the latest codes for 2017 Tacoma’s. Complicated process. Need to remove the old sensor code from the truck and then scan the new sensor code and turn it on in the truck. What a bullshit system to monitor air. Another great government regulation. So I will be driving around with a low pressure light for a couple days.

 

Yea, good stuff to keep us in line!

 

Yep. Total B.S. You would think that in the 21st century, we'd be a little better than this. Even after Toyota got mine running, my corner readouts are missing since the first rotation. No reset is bringing them back. The good news is that my yellow dash light is out. When I do new tires, I'll go for the proper sensors (not the steels flipped 180) and try again.

It’s why I’m against all of the safety features in the 2018. It’s making our trucks too complicated.

 

Get used to it. It's coming to every vehicle in the U.S. They have to protect us from ourselves. Big brother mistakenly thinks that they can legislate an end to stupidty.
