Just about everybody that has their stock wheels for sale has removed the TPMS sensors for their new wheels.
My question is, can replacement TPMS sensors be installed without a trip to the tire store?
What's comical is people pay someone to break down tires to remove the sensors when u can buy new sensors for the same amount and way easier.

I've been paying between $50-$65 for all 5 the last 4 sets I bought. Last time I had a set of tires mounted was like $75. So ya no sense lolI never understood that. A new set is around what, $150? To break down a set of tires ( and then remount and rebalance them) is AT MINIMUM $20 a tire...so that's $100 at the minimum, plus your wheels/tires are worth less if you try and sell them. I never understood why people do this.
That's not true. If u do a proper rotation you should actually be swapping fronts to opposite side in rear and intentionally spinning them in other direction. Tires will naturally cup a tad and reversing direction counteracts that and knocks the cup back off to get good wear.And my second dilemma is they aren’t marked left or right side. I’ve always thought, once radial tires spin in one direction at speed, you don’t want them to spin in the opposite direction.
So don’t worry about where they where. Just put them on and go.
Ok Discount Tires reinstalled the TPMS sensors I ordered from Eddies link, for $10 a wheels. They did a great job and the sensors worked great in 10 minutes. My question now is how low can the air pressure be before you get a low pressure warning?
My TPMS reads 34 but I used a very accurate gauge and the real air pressure is 36.
I wanted the actual pressure to be 34 but then the TPMS would read 32.

The tpms sensors are more accurate than any gauge you are likely using. They are specd and tested within tenths of a psi. Unless you are using an expensive Nascar spec gauge, the gauge is what is off.Mine is off a little bit too but in the other direction. With my tires set at 26 with a gauge, my display will usually read in the 28-30 range. When aired down to 15 with a gauge, display will show 18-20. But just got used to knowing there is a variance of about 2-5 psi.
