How do you Put your TMPS in when upgrade to 20's+

[george926]

I have already had mine upgraded to 20s but,

i didn't put my factory TMPS in, due to the way how the stock TPMS sticks

out, i guess especially with lowprofile tires. i am guessing i might get a low pressure or hit a bump that will cause my tire comes in contact with the TPMS..

so my tech told me if i ever get a flat or anything, i will just rip out my TPMS

and that will end up pretty f*** up..

so that after i decided not to use TMPS i am kinda thinking how does

everyone else does it?!

any one?!

I used them, I guess it's a matter of what you'd rather replace, a TPMS sensor if you get a flat, or a rim. If the TPMS alerts you enough ahead of time (as with a slow leak) to prevent rim damage. With no TPMS you might not have warning enough to prevent that rim damage. Im also running 20's but not that low a profile... 255-35/20

I know what you saying.. on my next set of tire, i will put on my TPMS back on... yet, with the right set up.. i found a unquie device that will allow aftermarket rims to use facotry TPMS.. this thing will hold our TPMS close to the rims. so even a low pressure wont harm the TPMS..

BTW, those TPMS were pretty expensive too... LOL hahaha



here is a pic of what it looks like

i got 22"s and used stock tpms....... 04 m45. works fine. i got 30 series tires too and had no problems. they just swap right out to your new rim. just let them know they have to do this when they mount and balance and u should be fine.
