I'm ordering Nitto Trail Grapplers 35s from Discount Tire Direct and I was wondering what sensors they should install so the 2013 TPMS will still work. I heard the new sensors are 433 mhz but just want to make sure it will fuction properly.

Have you called them or pm them on here. They should know

I called them. The first guy I spoke to said I'm better off remounting them with the stock sensors. The second guy said 433mhz will work.

On a side note, how is this done.....I know the sensor is either in or near the valve stem, but can they take the TPMS out without unmounting the tire from the wheel? Is it in the valve stem and only requires you to let the air out, or is it inside the tire and you have to remove it form the wheel?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure it is the whole valve assembly. They will need to break the tires down on your stock rims and replace them into your discount tire rim package. I know it sucks a bit... I'm thinking of just forgetting about the sensors and living with a light on in the dash.

They have a special rubber valve stem. When they remove the tire the sensor unscrews from the valve stem. My local tire charged my $15 per stem
If you don't want to use the sensors the AVE Procal can take care of the light

Just had my sensors pulled and rubber valve stems intalled and the Procal does the rest!

Not to hijack your thread, but I to am in the process of selling my tires and getting new ones (wheels and tires) from Discount Tire (either local of online through DT Direct) and called the local Discount Tire to talk this through. He said they would need to unmount and remount the tires to get the TPMS out and it would cost $19.95 a tire, so $100 for all 5!!! :(

I then asked if I bought new tires and wheels from them, would they roll this process into mounting the new ones at no charge and he said they would work something out, so I then asked if I wasn't quite ready to fully pay for the new tires just yet (funds pending sale of another item) but could put a deposit down on the new wheels and tires would they "eat" the cost of removing the TPMS so I could sell my older tires, and he said he would work it into the deal...meaning it would be no charge.

He also said he would match the $50 online savings listed on DTD for the Level 8 Trackers, which is an online savings if I bought the full package through them locally.

And if you are curious, I am selling my factory Rubicon Wheels and Tires, but luckily, I have an older set of factory Goodyear SRA on 17" Aluminum wheels from my 2010 left over and will run those until I can get the new set of 33" Duratrac on 15" Level 8 Trackers!!

My buddy put 35s on his 2013 rubicon

You MUST re use your factory TPMS sensors. The aftermarket ones will not work in the new system yet. Until someone comes out with something that is compatible this is your only option to keep the light off.

You can get factory tpms pn ebay, set of 4 for $50. I bought some for my 35s then sold my stock ones later. The 13 tpms sensors are backwards compatable to previous year jk
