I hate TPMS!
If it wasn't for TPMS, getting wheels tires would be so much easier. Tire dealers around here want an arm and a leg to switch the TMPS over.

That sucks, what are they $$$ estimating for changing the TPMS??

Best was $65, highest was $90.... PER WHEEL!

Most places around here charge $5 or $6 to switch tires.... you can figure that's about $25 or $30 for an hourly rate. They are telling you it will take them two or three hours "per tire" to switch them. "WOW" |
Can TPMS Be Disabled
When it comes time to change tires and rims, cannot the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) simply be disabled, cut, removed, guillotined, and/or shit-canned at the same time?
My tire pressure gauge works just fine. Didn't ask for this. Don't want it. Let the Jeep poseurs (i.e. Hummer owners) keep it. . . . Duane Behrens ("Perzuki") |

That is one of the biggest problems living in Calgary right now, nobody is hurting for business, everyone's shop rates have gone up, and there are too many people that will just overpay for things. It is a challenge.

Whether you asked for it or not doesn't matter, all 08 vehicles are mandated to have them now. It's not a big deal to swap them out, it's just a valve stem.

It isn't mandated in Canada, I wonder if they can disable it at the dealer
