TPMS rubber seals

[the blur]

I'm at Costo putting on new tires. $13 for all 4, they "service" the TPMS sensors. They replace the rubber O-rings. Mine are 10 years old, so I splurged for the $13.

Do you think it's necessary ? I never had a TPMS leak from the O-ring, but I suppose it's possible...

If mine weren't 10 years old, I would have skipped it. Just hope I don't have problems from them messing with it. They claim the techs are Michelin certified, whatever that means..

Should be ok, never heard of that, but not much it can hurt for $13, if the mess one up by accident make them fix it, or replace it no biggie.

I think at least Discount Tire around here actually requires the "TPMS rebuild kit", or what ever they call it. Don't know how much it is, though.

But yeah, like kwOH said, not a biggie for $13 bucks and if any problems, you know who to go for fixing them.

Just got back. Pretty decent service. Hand torqueing of lugs. No monkeys using an impact gun at 200 ft-lbs. Road hazard, balancing, free nitro for life. Can't complain.

I was hard core Tire Rack to save the tax. But this was worth the $100 extra, and much easier.

TPMS o-rings aren't a problem, until they become a problem. $13 is worth peace of mind. Besides, the hazard services don't always cover parts that are not serviced during tire installation. It's usually buried in the fine print.

Did they replace the batteries too?
