considering buying a set of new wheels and tires form american muscle.....what did everyone do with the tpms? did you transfer it to the new wheel and tire or just "learn to live with the light on"......if you transfered it, how difficult was it? i have never seen the tpms in person......

please respond

No problem.NTB refused to reprogram my TPMS!!! I'll never do business with them again. Went to my dealer and they did it in 10 mins...

The TPMS is a strap/module that wraps around the rim. I purchased new ones with my Tirerack wheel/tire package. The new ones were expensive but I sold my old rims/tires with the sensors and priced accordingly.

Someone with a reprogrammer (NTB???!!!) can reprogram the sensors to you car.

if u transfer the old ones over, no need to recalibrate.

i just press the reset button, no big deal

Steeda has the unit to reprogram for $26.95

idk what will be cheaper:
change the old sensors over to the new rims, then mount and balance the tires
or
have the TPMS sensors already installed, tires mounted and balanced, then recalibrate the new sensors.
any ideas?

or you could just press the reset button on the dash. do all the 08's have this reset button?

Transfer the sensors to the new wheels. The band kit from AM is about $17/kit. You'll need 4. There is 1 band, bracket and adhesive in the kit to do 1 wheel. You'll heve to have the old tires broken down from the wheels (or at least broken from the beads to get the sensor out; they clip into the bracket). My dealership did the entire job, including balancing the new wheels/tires and resetting the sensors, for under $40.00. Nobody was able to come close.

Eh, I just deal with it. It's really not that big of a deal to press the button every time you get in the car. Definitely not worth the money IMO.

i am pushing the button.......too much extra crap to order and go to the stealership to have done.........so, i will press two buttons when i get in my car.....tcs(off) and reset for free..

I have lerned to live with the fact I have to hit the reset button after every start. it goes off and usually dos not come on anymore/ I would like to try the pvc trick of putting the old units in a pvc tube glueing the ends and pressurizing them to (whatever it takes 32-40) so the reciving unit still thinks all the tires are on and full. Dealership said they can not take it out because of govt rules = (suit)
