Here is the current selection from Rock Auto for a 2008 GM truck, in CDN dollars. The Schraders are there.
But that is what is nice on the Honda..Just push a button in after you rotate your tires and it is done...Gm had this in the 90 and early 2000s the indirect tpms. The only issues are . Mixmatch tires cause a constant tire light and also rotating causes a light if not recalibrated
I check my Accord about weekly and definitely with more temperature changes, it has the indirect through ABS system. It alerted me to a low tire going to work. I was able to check and fill it up then repair the next day instead of getting stuck on side of highway.What happens if you decide you don’t want to spend $200+ to get new sensors? Have the tire pressure light on the dash all the time?
Just do like we did before this “technology” came out and look at the tires or check your pressure?
I check my air pressure on mine and her car at least every week, if not then every other week
Depending on the issue besides a service station, a safer area to pull off the highway and change if needed. Also giving opportunity to possibly save the tire with a simple repair and not replacement.When you pick up a nail while on the highway, it will let you know when the pressure drops to a still safe 28 psi so you can reduce your speed accordingly and pull off to a service station. Otherwise, it might drop to 10 psi while you take a curve at 70 mph and possibly flip over.

You really think that $60 per tire is a bad price for breaking down a tire, replacing the sensor/valve and rebalancing? You must still be living in the 80's.Hope that included new tires at that price.
Yes. You don't need to break down a tire to replace a sensor and you certainly don't need to rebalance it.You really think that $60 per tire is a bad price for breaking down a tire, replacing the sensor/valve and rebalancing? You must still be living in the 80's.
Of course you don't need to if you're able to DIY.Yes. You don't need to break down a tire to replace a sensor and you certainly don't need to rebalance it.
Definitely not.Of course you don't need to if you're able to DIY.
Pretty sure there's not a shop out there that is just going to break the bead enough to shove a TPMS sensor in there, re-seat the bead, re-inflate and send it down the road w/out a re-balance.
Why not? You're paying for it and if you say no balancing, then they won't balance it. If they decline, find another shop.Of course you don't need to if you're able to DIY.

On my 17 Accord sport, I was driving to work the other day and the tpms light came on, I was like “ah what the hell?” I checked the air pressure when I got to work and every break I got I went and checked the air pressure and none of the tires were low.I check my Accord about weekly and definitely with more temperature changes, it has the indirect through ABS system.

My kids both have regular sensors but no readout ('08 CRV and '10 Forte). They check air pressure regularly also. Both had nails on highway drives and were alerted to issue. Wife's Pilot has the dash readout. I use it almost everytime when I start to drive. I still check it manually with gauge frequently.
The indirect is nice if swapping winter/summer rims/tires as it is just a button push reset. Many newer ones read the new sensors no issue. The '08 CRV does NOT do that and needs to get programmed each season as the ECU only holds 4 codes. If not programmed the TPMS system light comes on (not low air) and then you are not able to turn off the ESC if needed for being stuck in snow/mud. It will not allow extra tire spin to clear treads or maximize winter tire potential and keeps killing throttle.

Our CR-V is the same way, doesn't show pressures. Our Odyssey Elite does though, which is nice.On my 17 Accord sport, I was driving to work the other day and the tpms light came on, I was like “ah what the hell?” I checked the air pressure when I got to work and every break I got I went and checked the air pressure and none of the tires were low.
Before I left work that night I did the tpms calibrate and it went away and hasn’t come back since. Not sure what was going on. I’m set to rotate my tires in under 1000 miles, when I do rotate the tires I look over the tires for nails, etc… so I will see if there is something in one of the tires.
It would be nice to see the air pressure on the dash for sure for quick reference
Actually check the tire pressure with a mechanically operated device instead of relying upon electronic devices and sensors?What happens if you decide you don’t want to spend $200+ to get new sensors? Have the tire pressure light on the dash all the time?
