Tire replacement and TPMS

[z71bill]

Yes, most people agree that original TPMS sensors on new vehicles last about 10 years, but many aftermarket sensors have batteries that only last 6-7 years. Sometimes that makes it a tough call on when to replace them.

My first set of TPMS lasted 9 years - I was 9.5 years on the second set.

DT charges $72 to replace one TPMS - about $300 for 4 of them without replacing the tires.

If I can buy 4 TPMS for ~~$80 and have them replaced when I get tires for $0 extra it seems like a good idea if your current sensors are even 6 years old.

If my tires are down to 5/32 (from 11 - 12 /32 and I needed a TPMS replaced I would most likely buy new tires early.

Good questions. Can’t wait to see what my independent shop charges.

My local told me $65 when I got new tires last year, but charged me $45. Had another sensor battery go bad a couple months ago and they wanted $85 to replace the sensor and basically suggested that I drive around with the tpms light on until it was time for new tires and take care of it then.

I love my indirect system on my 21 honda hrv....just a plain old rubber valve stem....

I figure if I have one going i might as well have all four changed.

If they were charging $70 to replace one - and $140 to replace 2 and $210 to replace 3 and $280 to do all 4 -

I would try and negotiate it down to get all 4 for $210 or whatever - if they wouldn't give me a break to do all I would just do the bad one.

My daytime running light burned out - I had a new spare left over from a different vehicle - same part number.

It was a pain to replace - cut the back of my hand - but I got it done.

I said next time one burns out all 10 of the front lights are getting replaced.

This was almost 2 years ago - I should order the bulbs - that way I wouldn't ever need them!

Going through the same questions as everyone. I'll be getting new winter tires on spare rims for a 2021 Tucson Value Edition. The sensors in the rims I got are all dead according to my Autel 508. Tires probably being put on at Costco, maybe in 2 weeks while on sale still. Costco wants $65 each installed for new ones from them. I won't be able to check programming until November when the Tucson is back up here. 3 different Hyundai dealers and websites list 52933-C1100 as the OEM by VIN and they want $141 each .

Walmart I think is $30 each installed for Bartec ones from all the searches/posts.

TPMS.com has these choices based on part#.

TPMSDIRECT has this.

Rock Auto has these choices.

Since you have the Autel 508 programmer, I would suggest that you buy the Autel MX sensors (w/ metal or rubber stems to match the current sensors on the spare rims) and have COSTCO install them unprogrammed with the new tires. When your son/DIL return in November, scan the OEM TPMS sensors currently on the Tucson and clone the serial numbers to the Autel MX sensors with the new tires. The wheels then are interchangeable between the summer/winter tires without any relearning required. I used this process recently with the Autel MX sensors on my Nissan Frontier.

Correct, WalMart charges $28.88 + tax per TPMS sensor which includes re-balancing each tire and relearning the new TPMS serial numbers. IME, they will not agree to clone the old serial numbers to the new sensors.

You can get a set of 4 TPMS sensors from Amazon, any where from about $25-$50.

Chineseum only.
