    This is prob a dumb question, but I'm purchasing some of these (PTR18-35090-BR) soon. I read that my stock TPMS sensors may not fit right and require a different version (40 degree vs 20 degree?), so I assumed it would be best to get them mounted/balanced at my local Toyota Dealership so they could address it easily if needed.

    Anybody with experience in this scenario have any advice? Should I avoid the dealership altogether in favor of a Hibdons or Discount Tire, or even an independent shop? Any advice is much appreciated, thanks!

    Steel and alloy rims use different sensors. Sounds like you have the wrong sensors. An independent shop will be a lot easier on the wallet than the dealer. Most shops can set the sensors up for you for a nominal fee. I had one sensor changed out and they didn't bother to charge me when my tires were changed.....
