Well then at least have your TPS removed from your stock rims and store them until you need to replace your tires, then mount them at that time.

That would be my question. Since they are fairly common now, I'm pretty sure you can get them installed as part of the "package" before they ship you the tires - as long as they don't cost too much. Anybody know the price of these units ?

As I recall from an earlier thread, it IS "very expensive"--about $200 PER SENSOR! If there is better information, let me know.

AHHHHH!!! Do everyone in the tire business a favor (myself (FIRESTONE)) and dont use FIX A FLAT ever!!! That **** is a bitch to clean up and most of the time it doesnt work. The only time it ever works is if you have a pin hole leak, anything like a nail or screw (over 1/8") it wont work. Dont use it please

This is true only on long rides does the sensor come on not around town.
