I got some new 35’s and wheels and, due to the age of my tpms sensors in my old tires and wheels (light was always on), I figured id skip having new tpms installed initially.
When I went back to look into installing them, the local sams club (who installs them for $48 each w 5 year warranty) said there would be issues with their universal tpms on older Toyotas (I’ve got a 2011 lx570)…he said there would also likely be issues with 35’s since their corporation has strict parameters regarding working on vehicles larger than oem tires.
Thus he recommended oem tpms sensors and an install with another shop.
It seemed like a hassle
I installed a $42 external tpms system onto my alpha equipt wheels…seems pretty good so far. The screen readout tells me psi and temperature…and is oriented to each tire.
The sensor sticks out just slightly from the protective sheath on the alpha equipt wheels…batteries are user replaceable.
If you’re looking for an easy tpms addition to an extra set of wheels, trailer, or temp, these aren’t too bad for $40.
