Thanks for all the replies, it seems that it is definately something that could be avoided. I'm already having to buy their tire warranty to get my warranty tire from BFG so I'm ticked I have to pay that :(

On my 08 X I had, I put on new wheels and tires. I just had the sensors moved over to the new wheels. Didn't do anything more than that, and I had absolutely no issues at all.

As Bob stated in an earlier thread it is highly advisable to rebuild them, its cheap insurance. The bottom line is that the core and cap and all may be fine, but the gromet that seals the stem to the wheel needs to be replaced every time the sensors are moved. If you can get that little gromet seperatley it is probably safe to go that route, but otherwise just have them rebuild it.

So what's the issue with taking it to the dealer for warranty instead of paying anything to the tire shop?

Dealer told me tire warrantys are through the tire companys and they were no longer allowed to replace. I talked to the regional office of Americas tire and they told me the warranty work would only involve the labor unlike what I was told earlier and buying a extra warranty for the one tire was an option only. They also explained the rebuild consisted of the parts mentioned earlier and was pretty much recommended. After I got off the phone I recieved a call from the store manager who apoligized that it was implied I had to buy a warranty to "warranty" a tire as that wasn't the case. He ended up offering to waive labor and give me the road hazard warranty for all my tires for $137 if I wanted it, not a bad apoligy.
