Wheels and Tires, mounted, balanced, and shipped to your door - www.customoffsets.com Thinking about skipping out on TPMS?! Check out the 5 things you didnt know about TPMS sensors!
I got a tool off of amazon for $16 to get my ‘18 Colorado Z71 to relearn my mounted/balanced wheel and tire package with the sensors installed from you guys. Took about 30 seconds to use.. Saved me money so I was happy.
Please note. Some earlier year model will note there is a tpms but its indirect. There are 2 kinds of tpms, indirect and direct. Direct is the wireless signal we all have currently and is inside the tire well. Indirect is when its part of the abs or braking system. There will be no sensor in the tire well.
Even today some European manufacturers use the indirect system. This system uses speed differential between tires to sense a loss of air pressure. Its primary drawback is that you cannot display pressure in each tire as there is no way to determine it, so an idiot light is the only indication available. Direct system come in two types. A basic system will only give an idiot light indication while more advanced systems will display the actual pressure in each tire on the DIC. The advantage of the more advanced system is that a loss of pressure in a tire will result in a message being displayed on the DIC indicating which tire is losing air and what the actual pressure is. This lets you decide on whether you need to pull over immediately (fast loss of air) or continue until it's safe to stop or to reach a tire shop (slow loss of air).
gm dealers also use the EI-50448 tool to relearn the tires, its a $20-30 remote and works with the factory sensors. But most will have another tool/scanner for aftermarket sensors too.
Yep, most times the shops won't even dismount them. They have arms that can press on the sidewall to expose the TPMS sensors, allowing you to remove them without taking the tire off. It'd just need a re-balance afterwards.
I had to pay close to $400 to replace my dead battery sensors on my Honda tires. If the sensors cost $50 each then that's $200 of sensors. And dismounting every wheel and putting in the new sensor will likely take an hour. At auto shop rates of $100 per hour that's $100. So at the least they are going to charge you $300. But they want to make a profit on the sensors so they run the price of them up to $70 each. So $380 seems like a ball park price. Plus tax. And besides, the last time I had a flat I knew it before the sensors told me so TPMS is pointless. It should be banned.
Just because he started to make switching over the TPMS sound more expensive than it really is I don’t trust his information. He probably is right about the other stuff but now I don’t trust his channel and information now so i will go to a different source of information.
BlackRaven I forgot about this comment. Mine was a fiasco! I had to go to discount tire and the said their tpms would probably work, but they have had problems with the new rams syncing with aftermarket sensors. I bought factory ones from a dealer and they said they didn’t want to install them because the were afraid of scratching my wheels. I had them installed somewhere else and some of the sensors worked and some didn’t. I had to have them uninstalled and and return the “bad ones”. Then bought more and had the installed, and it finally worked. And that was the short version. Custom Offsets did right though by refunding me the original sensors, and paying for the new ones to be installed.
@@marvinheadrick3511 my issue now is not the sensor but the model that reads it. It shows the right front has no reading and I had the tires rotated and balanced the day after the TPMS light came and it still showing the same thing. Can't find anything on where the 2014 ram model location is
I like my sensor on star emails me when the tire pressure lowers drastically so it's fun to time the mechanics when I want to swap my tires out for like winter tires see how fast they get to my truck
Hay Custom Offset, I just installed my new wheel and tire package on my 2015 Jeep JKU. All looks and drives absolutely perfect!! Except.... my TPMS light is on. Sensors are communicating correct pressure but the light is on. What do I need to do?
Have to agree. Nowhere near accurate on the price to swap sensors. I was a tire tech for 9 years, never heard of any shop in town charge that amount. Also, the sensors don’t break that easily, unless you don’t know what you’re doing.
I got a new set of wheels and tires with you guys with the tpms sensors installed. Can anyone help me out with how to link them to my truck? My tire pressure light has been on since the install and I can’t see any of the tire pressures since the sensors aren’t linked. Thanks
So they are basically charging more than what it would take for a shop to break down add tpms remount and balance to put it in when they put that instead of valve stem don't have to break it down and mount and balance is included when you buy as a package so no additional time or labor just a 300% markup on the sensors
It was mid to late 2007 when that law was implemented. I have a early build 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with no TPMS on it. I bought it new and have replaced the tires and wheels on it once already and had it checked back then just to make sure.
I would like to inquire: can you install a TPMS sensor on a small trunk wheel on a car which has TPMS system, but for full size wheels only without modification of the existing system. And can you install that system on a car which doesn't have TPMS? Thank you for the informative film.
Hi..I have Buick Enclave AWD 2013. Recently I had the tires changed and I started getting the warning "Service Tire Monitor System"..I learned from YT how to do it. So gave it a try but it did not work. I do not have option for TPMS learning so I pressed Lock and Unlock button on remote simultaneously and the display showed TPMS Learning Active. Headlights were off front left parking light turned on. I had 240Kpa pressure (35psi in all tires) I purged out some air from front left and waited. Nothing happened and the front left light turned off without any beep. I did that without starting the engine. I followed again to no avail. Then I did it with the engine running same thing. I have already verified all tires are in correct position. So when I checked the pressure it was 228kpa instead of 240kpa. What could be the problem? Please give some tip. I have all tires showing the correct pressure except the rear right showing "- - - ". no pressure before it was showing 700kpa which was false. Is it the bad sensor? or car needs to learn again. Please help while I am sill searching. Thank you in advance.
Got my wheels and tires from you guys. The tpsm worked for a day now they dont read sooooooooo i might hit a tree because i really enjoying seeing a yellow light on the dash
You massively inflated the prices for swapping sensors over. I used to work at a tire store and had to do that all the time. You don't even need to dismount the tire to remove and install most sensors
Here in upstate NY, Adirondak and Mavis wanted to charge me full dismounting prices when I ordered my wheels. So individual mileage may vary on this. Your shop sounds like a good place to go for anyone local. These chains that keep popping up aren't good for consumers.
Bought a tire/rim package from you guys with sensors. Everything worked fine for about a week then TPMS warning light came on and now sensors aren’t reading. Put about 100 miles since with no luck. Any thoughts? I have a 14 ram
Sir, my vehicle doesn't have TPMS system. Recently i bought a bigger wheen from a fren, which have tpms valve. Will it cause any problem in installing to my vehicle? And will it work on my vehicle? Please reply
What do you recommend for situations when aftermarket wheels block or do not allow TPMS from being detected during the relearn process. I bought a new set of methods from you guys and after first rotation, I cannot get them to relearn the new positions. I've read that some aftermarket wheels cause others the same issue. Maybe the sensor is placed further from the sidewall than in the stock wheel set up.
I had some 26s on an 05 Tahoe worked fine put rims on 2011 silverado got light. Took sensors out of factory 2011 wheels and placed in 26s no light. And only because they were 26 in rims I did get quoted 50 to break bead and 50 to mount and rebalance I live in the country had to find shop with machine that will accommodate 26in rims other then oversized rims he is full of 💩on the prices and programming procedures. Usually just release air till horn sounds then go direction car manuel states
How about a video about choosing tire pressure when upgrading wheels and tires to a larger size? If my old tps is set for 45 psi (and its the recommended psi on the door jam) but new tires say something lower or even higher, WTF do you do with the tps and how do you choose the correct psi?
@@CustomOffsetsTV yeah, but when you put a different size wheel and tire on your truck, how do you figure out the correct psi? Go by door jam? Or what's stamped on the tire?
Gets guys. I bought wheels and tires from custom offsets and went to a shop to have the tpms sensors synced with my truck and they couldn’t get them to work. I also tried doing it myself with turning the key to the on position scrolling through dash menu to tire monitoring holding the select button down til truck chirped twice. which it did then drivers side parking light came on to start the sequence then let air out of that tire waiting for truck to sense air loss and horn to sound once. But nothing happened. It’s not a complicated procedure at all. I haven’t driven enough miles for my truck to learn the new sensors but why couldn’t the shop get them synced up?
The Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 USC 30122(b)) prohibits manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or motor vehicle repair businesses cannot disable the TPMS. Does not say if the customer on their own can do this. Its this simple, do you want TPMS to protect your investment in tires? I routinely clone sensors for a second set of rims and occasionally install the Schrader retrofit kit for other vehicles and the occasional trailer. Good video.
Man, I'm struggling with mine. How ridiculous!!! I have purchased two different kinds and had them balanced. It's the front left. I can not get it to sink. The other 3 will work, just not the new one. I've taken into consideration of all electronics in the truck.(2010 Ford f-150 4×4). Even the spare. Started by removing air, then adding air. Then purchased the little programmer. I've about had it. On top of this crap, I need what's called an off road balance balance for all 4 tires because they are larger tires. I've had them over a year and it is now starting to vibrate when I'm at 50-60 mph. It stops if I go above that. After spending 80 to get them rotated and balanced, I am told I need the special balance. I've about had it. I don't like being ripped off and feel that's what's being done over and over and over. HELP !!!!!!!! Oh yeah, can't get the programmer to work either
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Diesel short bed 4 door with 4" lift and Big Rolling Power Aftermarket 20" wheels . My question is do I need to get TPMS sensor's that have a stronger Signal, like 433 MHZ vs 'the 315 MTZ ?????
Just look at the tire before and aftet you drive...its called a walk around. Take 10-15 seconds and saves you money....if its lower then you need air or have to fix a slow leak
* Here's the sixth thing that is rarely discussed about TPMS. It increases pollution. It takes energy to build a TPMS sensor and it's system. There has to be a factory with machines, lighting, heating system, parking lot for employees. The employees go home at night to families and they cook food and heat their homes. The employees are not robots that are hung up on a hook at the end of the day. They continue to consume energy. The TPMS sensors need a whole system throughout the car to monitor it. The manufacturing of that system uses energy. * The sensors have a battery in them so they have an end of life built into them. (and as an engineer you can't imagine how angry I am that the system was made with a battery that is going to eventually run dead and force replacement - what a scam!) * They claim "up to 3% better gas mileage". "up to"!!! When you see those words "up to" you need to always think, "I'm being lied to." But let's go with 3%. But beware that just a few short years ago they claimed 2%. They got away with that exaggeration so they pushed it up even higher. * Now the math. 30MPG car, 100k miles, uses about 3,333 gallons of gas. Assume $3 per gallon. So for 100kmiles you use $10,000 of gas. Now for 3% less: 29.1MPG, 100k miles, uses about 3,436 gallons of gas. Assume $3 per gallon. So over 100kmiles you use $10,309 of gas. That's an extra $309 of gasoline. Now let's use another claim. Low tires reduce gas mileage "up to" 2MPG. There's that "up to" phrase again but this time they use direct mpg instead of percent of mpg. I am pretty sure when whoever the dishonest person was(I bet he was "up to" 100% dishonest:) that came up with "up to" 2MPG reduction for low tires did his test on a car with all four tires at 8psi. How often does that happen? But let's do the math anyway. 28MPG, 100k miles, uses about 3,571 gallons of gas. Assume $3 per gallon. So over 100kmiles you use $10,714. An increase of $714 in gasoline. * BUT!!! the whole TPMS system on the car to begin with from the manufacturer added at least $1000 to the cost of your car. Plus you have to replace the sensors and that ends up costing $400 each time. And is it possible to get your tires changed without the tech busting a sensor? So you spend more money on the whole system than you save on money for gasoline. And the cost for commodities (a TPMS system is a commodity) is a measure of the energy used to create the commodity. A work of art is often far more expensive than the energy used to produce it. Art is not a commodity. Dr. Dre headphones are not priced as a commodity. But for most things the energy to produce it is a large part of the price. So use the price as a measure of the energy used to create the item. THEREFORE, much more energy is used to construct and maintain a TPMS system than it actually saves. TPMS is not environmentally friendly. TPMS adds pollution to the environment. It does exactly the opposite of the initial claim for the justification of the system.
i have tpms on my silverado and didn’t opt for the sensors. not too much of a pain, just a little light on the dash. i’d save my 180 bucks if i were y’all
That's wrong. I work at a wheel &tire retail store 10yrs in... And it does not work like that. It's definitely cheaper useing same sensors. I do it all the time..
Do you need to dismount tires from wheels to add TPMS sensors? If I get new tires & wheels, but want to use my old TPMS sensors, should I order my tires mounted or dismounted?
So here i am 4 years later lmfao i ordered mine with my tires in 2019 and ive driven with the tpms light on till today so i bought a tpms sensor relearning tool and im hoping theyre in my nittos i got tired of having that light and im doing alot of services on my truck if not i know its late but wasted 179 100% my fault but fingers crossed theyre there 🤞🏻
If you have a Chevy, GMC or Ford you can get a relearn tool on Amazon for $10 to $15. Just get an EL-50448 relearn tool for your particular make. Mine cost me $15 and it can be used on Chevy/GMC and Ford. There are others out there for other makes. This tool can be used when rotating tires, getting new sensors when the battery dies in the ones that came with the vehicle (battery lifespan is typically 5-7 years) or when learning the sensors for trailer tires. 2019 and newer Chevy/GMC 1500 pickups in some trim levels come with trailer tire sensors. Once installed on your trailer, these sensors allow you to display the tire pressure and tire temperature on your infotainment screen, negating the need for an aftermarket TPMS system for a trailer.
I have a 2017 ram 1500 and bought 20x12 rims on a 35/12.50/20 tire and used stock tpms sensors and my truck does not want to pick it up. it only wants to pick up two sensors i took it to local tire shops and the dealer and they cant find out why it doesn't want to sync up. They checked the stock tpms sensors to see if there were damaged and there fine. Does anyone have an idea what i could be? Do i just need to buy new ones?
Angel Hinojosa sometimes there could be too much air on the tires so when you put the scanner near the tpms try pushing the valve core so it loses air do it a couple of times see if that works for ya
I wish i went to your store, just came to a place to get one replaced, and they told me im my face that there was another one not working, i got so mad because i see what they do, at the end i spent 45 dollars and got out of the place with 2 bad sensors (they say the one they replaced will be ok in couple of miles).
i bought a 2021 ram 2500 with aftermarket tires and wheels. the OEM sensor can't read pressure so i went to discount tire, they replaced new sensors and let me drive 30 miles. I think i have already driven 500 miles. the sensors still not working...
@@user-sl6zw8uc4w it might be the module and not the sensors. On my Ram 1500 the front passenger side doesn’t read even after tires have been rotated so they tell me it might be the module.
Another thing you didnt say about people not wanting to put their TPMS back into their wheels is that some vehicles like my 2012 Honda Civic Si, if the TPMS light is on, you can NOT disable traction control. Which absolutely sucks incase you find your self in a situation when u need to disable it like being stuck in sand, mud or snow. Or if you just want to go to "mexico" for some good ole fashoined drag racing and when u go from 1st to 2nd and your tires try to chirp but cant because the traction control is on and it pulls power from the motor thus slowing you down.
Everyone saying those prices aren't accurate are insane. I've worked at multiple tire shops and they always charge for dismounting and mounting the tires. Not only that but if you have to pay for new valve stems to be put on the sensors. Depending on the tire that could mean taking the entire tire off to be able to get a torx bit into it to undo it. And if we ever took an entire tire off we would rebalance it. So yeah you would be looking at 25 a tire for just swapping sensors. So 8 tires total to be dismounted and mounted again. Exactly what he says in the video.
if the tpms is faulty before a shop does any work to the vehicle then they are not required by law to fix it and neither is the owner of the vehicle. only businesses selling a vehicle need to make sure its working at the time of sale. also if a vehicle had a working tpms at the time a shop took the vehicle in the vehicle can not then leave the shop without a working tpms system but as i said if the tpms system was already faulty there is no legal requirement for the business or the owner of the vehicle to make sure the vehicle leaves with a working tpms. also tpms stands for tire pressure monitoring system so saying tpms sensor/s makes perfect sense.
$300 dollars so they can charge $250 to make people think they are getting a discount lol... this tactic is actually very widespread. super common in business of all kinds.
No way , the nearest tire shop charges me $20 per tire, remove the sensors and reinstall it on the new set mounted and balanced, that's $80.00 for all, take about like 45 minutes for the whole process one person, like 30 for two.
Received my wheels and tires without the TPMS, and now I cannot get a return call or email from Custom Offsets to resolve the issue. They say all wheels and tires need to have these installed when shipped, guess they skipped that step with my order. Not a good experience especially considering the money that was spent.

I just received my wheels today. No tpms installed either. Well I should say I got 2 of them. The other 2 are coming tomorrow. Did they ever resolve issue??
@@joshwilliams304 almost. Im waiting for sensors to be shipped out then I have to find a shop that will install them for no more than $20 per tire. Not sure that's gonna be possible.
One reason why you collect everything you need via ordering online, including tires, and then properly have the work performed by your favorite local all at one time, if you don't already have the machinery at home to mount and balance tires......LOL. The hell if I'm ordering pre-mounted anything. That's what she said.
Just throw all the factory sensors into your spare tire and forget about it until the batteries die. No hassle when you change tires or put your snow tires on.
Been driving for 50+ years and maybe had 1 flat while driving and not a big issue just put the spare on . This is just another pia regulation that's not necessary. Luckily my 07 Saturn Vue does not have this.
I hate how tire shops make it seem like you HAVE to pay them $100 just to mount your tires they make it seem like its difficult I have never paid for that service just go home and do it yourself all you need is the lug nut tool and a torque wrench and you're done
