Can I just NOT have TPMS sensors?

[rcglfr]

its is amazing how many cars with TPMS have problems with this system! I work in the automobile business and it seems like 50% of the cars I see with the TPMS have issues with this system, even high-end cars like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc. Its obvious that these systems are not fully developed at this point or they are just making them so poorly that they will not work for very long. Its just another way these manufacturers use to get you to bring the car back to them for repairs whenever the IDIOT lights come on!I think the letters TPMS really stand for TIRE PMS! Not a place you want to be!

You do not have to take it to the dealer. Many big tire/rims places work on these as well, EVEN Wal-Mart has the tool to reset it.

they just need to be rebuilt. It is $14 a sensor to rebuild at Discount tire.

I had it on for 6K it was so annoying I am glad I took them out of my SL stocks before I sold them so I could put them into my aftermarket rims.

Crazy thought... How about you install all 4 in the spare tire.

Should not be too hard to do.. un-mount tireDrill 4 new holes in the steel rimMount OEM senorsMount tire to proper psiput back in place.
