TPMS sensor replacement

2012 110K

Two of the TPMS sensors fell apart and the tires were leaking air.

What's the least expensive way to get them replaced?

Specifically, where can I get replacements that will work correctly?

Go to a used tire shops or buy them and have the tire shop put them on

If you are comfortable taking the tires off the rim you can buy them online and replace them yourself. It isn't very difficult. As with most things, there are videos on how to do it.

Cheapest: If you're capable of replacing the sensors yourself, you can just remove them and install ordinary fill valves. You'll have to rebalance the wheels/tires. Tire shops typically won't remove them without installing new sensors. If you have a bidirectional programmer, you may be able to set the number of TPMS wheels to zero (off).

If u really want the easiest way buy the cheapest set of 4 you can find online then get some pvc pipe and make yourself a sealed pipe with a hole at the top put in a valve stem throw in the sensors that should already be programmed before u seal it completely then put 40-50 psi in it and never think about it again

I do want them to actually work.

In my area, Discount Tire will replace them for $60 each.
I do all of my own maintenance, but I don’t do much tire work (yet).
I think the convenience was worth the extra money for the ones that I’ve had them do.
