An I swap tires from a 2013 to a 2015 without issue?

A mechanic at the dealership told me no. I have no further details than that. The 13 and 14s used 433 MHz. When he said they didn't work I asked the frequency of the 15s and he didn't know. That's all I got.

 

Thanks for the reply. So I have to have the toms swapped.

You can swap the 2013 wheels and tires to a 2015. The 2013 TPMS sensors (433 MHz) will work fine in the 2015 since they are the same frequency. I recently traded a set of 2013 Rubicon 10A wheels and tires with a guy who had a brand new 2015 Sport. We just swapped in my driveway. No problem with TPMS on either vehicle. I later swapped the TPMS sensors into my new wheels when I had the new tires installed.

 

That's different than what the dealer mechanic told me but that makes more sense to me. I don't know why the factory would change the frequency after only 2 years.

 

This is correct.

 

I love when dealer techs tell you you can't do something but can't explain why.

 

Hope no one is referring to the dealer guy at the front desk as the 'tech' or 'mechanic'. Those guys are neither. And shouldn't claim to be unless you see their trade certificate posted on the wall Correct title is 'service advisor'...translation...'trained in how to use a pen and sell stuff you don't want or need while at same time not listening to customer"

 

No it was the mechanic doing the mirror recall on my wife's Jeep. I always stand there and watch them work. I don't trust them enough to leave them unattended.

 

I was told the TPMS frequency changed in 2013 ; all prior to 2013 same, 2013 and up different .
