    Looking to find out if anyone else has ran into this issue. I have a 2019 tacoma SR 4x4. I'm replacing stock tires and steelies for 265/70 R17 falken wildpeaks and some 17 in TRD pro matte black wheels. Super excited to get them on. I ordered lugs off Amazon and went to discount tire to see if they could install them. They said It would be 350+ to mount and install tires and wheels along with replacing all 4 TPMS sensors. Steel to alloy you apparently need different sensors? Am I getting ripped off? Can they use the ones that came with the original wheels? Is 350+ outrageous or fair price for what I'm having done? Its annoying that I paid 1500 for tires and wheels and now its gonna be another 350 just to put the damn things on. ANy help appreciated.

    My understanding is that the steel wheel TPMS sensors can be rotated 180 degrees to be installed in alloy wheels, but they are prone to break when this is done. The tech that seats the tire and the tech that removes the tire in the future both have to be aware of the sensor being rotated otherwise they might break it.

    Again, that is my understanding. I am sure other people will weigh in here. I very much understand that frustration. I had a truck with steel wheels for years because I didn't want to spend that much more on sensors when I would already be spending that much.
