Tpms sensor replacement cost.
The short answer is yes, you can use your old TPMS on your new wheels and tires, however below we discuss some points to consider before making that decision.
Consider the shelf life of your TPMS
Your TPMS are powered by lithium-ionĀ batteries which have a typical lifespan of five to ten years with five to six years being more of a realistic average.
Aside from the battery, another thing to consider is corrosion. At the base of most TPMS is a nut that holds the metal valve stem.
Can i reuse tpms sensors on new wheels
Exposure to moisture and road salt will promote corrosion on these components which will lead to premature failure.
Cost to transfer TPMS sensors
In order to use your existing TPMS you have to consider the expenses involved.
The tire tech would have to dismount your existing tires in order to remove your TPMS. The average shop charges anywhere from $12 to $24 per tire depending on the wheel diameter. If you’re taking the shop a new set of mounted wheels and tires to install your old TPMS on they would have to also dismount the tires of the new set and later remount and balance.
