I need to replace a TPMS sensor. Will be getting new tires soon so will replace the sensor at the same time. I could turn it off via JScan but I kinda like having the sensors.
Any favorites?

What brand of TPMS sensors work well?
- Thread starter Mopar
- Start date
Deleted TPMS. If you can wait till summer, I'm looking for new rubber then and will give you mine.
What year is your Jeep not all of the years use the same frequency of TPM's?
That's nice of you. I picked up a Standard Motor Products one and will have it installed when I get my new tires installed.
Thanks

FWIW, I've used the ones at Discount Tire twice on Jeeps and they've been perfectly fine...
I know a lot of folks disable the TPMS, but for me, it's one of those things that could actually save some skin, and is otherwise completely passive until needed. Dropping air pressure down for a trail ride and having the light come on doesn't bother me one bit, at least not for normal trail rides, even ones that last a full weekend.

I turned off the TPMS in my F150 because it's only a light. Doesn't show individual tire pressure. I like the individual tire pressures showing on the TPMS in the Jeep. So, I'll keep it.
I ended up buying 4 sensors from Extreme Terrain (sent the single one back) and replaced them all when I had the new tires mounted and balanced a week or so ago. All are working well. It was around $40-50 for all 4.
Agree. I don't know why they get the hate that they do. It has proven to be worthwhile on every vehicle I own alerting me to an issue (puncture on the Wrangler and Escape, leaky valve on the SuperDuty) before I would have seen it otherwise. I don't know about most people, but I certainly don't walk around my vehicle and check tire pressure every time I drive.
Admittedly, I still don't understand that reasoning... Our Grand Cherokee and our Wagoneer both have the newer, individual pressure data going to the dash. That said, I can't say that I check it with any regularity (other than scrolling across it when I accidentally hit the menu up/down button on the steering wheel). For me, the big selling point is the fact that should something happen that isn't immediately apparent (like picking up a nail on the highway), I would get a warning even when I may not otherwise notice.
A perfect and somewhat recent example of this was when we were last in California. We were cruising back to Phoenix after spending the day in Knott's Berry Farm, and about an hour into the trip home, the TPMS light came on. We were still in somewhat busy, post-rush hour traffic (cruising at ~60 mph), but the light came on and I quickly exited the highway. We were able to make it off the road with a quickly flattening tire.
Upon inspecting, I picked up a small piece of construction debris that was completely unnoticed. By the time I unloaded our luggage from the back and got the spare out, the tire had gone completely flat (the rental was a minivan FWIW). Had I been cruising down the highway for another mile or two, who knows what could have happened, especially with the congestion and the fact that the damaged tire was the steering tire as well.
I believe it's because people don't want to deal with yet another idiot light is what it comes down to. I don't mind my '07 not having TPMS because *I* do walk around my vehicle every day, it's a habit from having to inspect my patrol unit before every shift.
