TPMS question.
My friend thinks I asked the wrong question. So let me see if I can rephrase it and go from there.
I'm going from KM2's to Trail Grapplers, on the same existing rim. Why would any work need to be done to the TPMS (replace or repair) increasing the price of my purchase from Discount Tire?

It is recommended to replace the components of sensors that are susceptible to abuse...Pretty much like replacing the old style rubber stem...I never reused old ones

It's balony , if they were working before , they will work after the new tires . They are full of b.s. . I have after market rims and used the original tpms 's . I ended breaking three out of four of them off on rocks anyway and just replaced them with standard rubber style.I don't care if the light on my dashboard is on , I am used to it already . I air down everytime I wheel and air back up when I'm done , so I always know my pressure .
