Hi guys. I just recently replaced my stock OEM wheels with a set of the 19" G37S coupe wheels and noticed the TPMS sensor is not on the new wheels. I was hoping to just take the ones off my old wheels and put them on my new ones.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I searched for a thread dealing with it and didn't have any luck finding it.

Thanks in advance!

 

yeah you can put your old working tpms into the new wheels without any issues or resets. But of course youd have to take your car to the tire shop for the tires to be unmounted, tpms installed and then tire remount and probably rebalance which would cost you about $10-15 per tire...

 

it will cost a little more then $10-$15 ea. to dismount remount & balance & possibly change the rubber grommet too.

 

^ well it depends on the area, the average price for remount & balance with new stem(if needed) ~$12-15 per wheel

 

Dang!, that's pretty cheap kool; must be nice. Were I am, the top shops will charge 25-30 bucks per tire for m/b, and then they'd probably want even more since you'd have to pop the bead off one side of the original wheels to get the old tpms off, so nearly twice the work (or so they'd claim).

 

^ wow thats a lot. over here its around $15 average for the whole mount/balance pkg for upto 18" rims and then $20 for 19 and over as long as they can do it on their machine. The local Merchant tire charges me $18/wheel for dismount, mount, balance and tpms stem(if needed) since im a 'loyal customer' and iv had it done many times but even regular is about $20.

Only two places that charge about $25 are Mr.Tire and i think tire plus for 20"+

 

Around here, they charge by the width, not the diameter. So basically, they charge the least or a 60 series or greater, then it starts to jump for a 55 or 50 rage, then 45 and 40 takes a good bump further, and for <40 it's an absolute premium. I thinking they've just figured how to milk the cow is all. If you're putting rubber bands on, they know you'll pay what it takes.

 

^ that makes total sense to me and thats how i believe it should be if the tires are really low profile <=30series considering they run a higher risk of damage to the wheel with lower profile tire on their machines like 30width on say 17" rather than a 50 width on a 20" but considering the pricing you guys have to pay, i guess i should not be the one complaining

 

my place looks at the degree of difficulty, time it takes & wear & tear on the machine. a good tire machine takes a lot of maintenance to keep it in perfect working order to ensure we are scratchfree. That is besides the fact that a top of the line tire machine & balancer will run over $22k.(our Hunter machines are $28k)
A well trained ASE installer will take 8 weeks+ to handle 19" & up. A good tire shop could not afford to m & b for $15 ea. for alloy wheels.
All of that is besides the fact that the shop is probably going to remove & reinstall back on the car.

 

^ I understand that and while the shops i use might not be considered 'good tire shops' per your standards(since im pretty sure most of them have one ASE installer to overlook while others are usually college students or such), they still get the job done for me without any damage to my wheels at all and that too at a great price so like i said i aint complaining!

 

less then 1% of tire shops have ase or tia certified tire installers, but as long as you are happy with their level of service(no scratches, no vibes) then there is nothing wrong.
