Two Sets of Wheels? Get Two Sets of TPMS Sensors!

Thank you for the article. My plan is to trade in my stock rims. Over here in Singapore, we only have summer and not required to switch between different set of tires. For my case, I believe it will be wasteful to trade in with the TMPS with my stock rims. 1 time effort to transfer to my new rims seemed like a reasonable option?

 

[BIGRED]

In that case, then yes!

Yes - most people are getting a 2nd set of rims so that they can easily switch between summer and winter tires, so you would want a full set of sensors in both sets ot rims. In your case, yes, just remove them before getting rid of the original rims.

Thanks guys. A very good reminder. Wouldn't want to give the TMPS as a free gift to the wheels shop.

I agree with a second set for extra wheels. I couldn't find in the manual if it shows each pressure for each specific wheel either. If they do, you may need a rest tool to sync them to the correct location then.

Are these pretty easy to install yourselves? And just plug and play. No calibration required?

From what I've read, the car automatically recognizes a second set without any calibration required, or at least it will if they are the OEM TPMS. Nothing special on the installation. The dealer price I was given on these is over 100 each, so I have four OEM units coming from South Korea from an Ebay purchase, on an apparently very slow boat. No hurry at this point, hopefully we are now past what was a pretty evil winter for snow. I will have a set of snows on rims built in preparation for next winter.

Ya I’ll have to pickup a set of winters with rims so these OEMs will come in handy. Everything from the dealer is ridiculously expensive. They want $400 for a fob replacement!

Just a quick update, finally had the summer tires put on the car and within 5 kms they registered and reported the pressures.

Nice. So no additional calibrations? I’m actually buying a new set of wheels now and already have these TPMS waiting to be installed once everything arrives.

No calibrations, just install in rims and good to go.

If I swap a gt2 wheels from another gt2, are there any issues with tpms programming? When I took delivery of my gt2, I found a curb rash on one of the wheels. My sales guy says it cant br swapped because of the tpms, but from reading this thread, I dont think it's a problem.

Shouldn't be an issue. If he still questions it, then insist on doing the swap to prove them wrong. It's just a simple tire change anyways.

Did the OEM sensors sync on their own? Does you car show the pressure for each wheel?

 

[SteveCo]

Yes and Yes.

Awesome Find, Thanks OP! - $85 USD atm for all 4

Should arrive before the season starts!

That's interesting. I had mine mounted at Costco, and the service tech programmed the car. They had some device, and he went around all four corners scanning near the wheel (saw him do it), then plugged it into the OBD (I think, as I couldn't see from the service area). The service tech also mentioned to me that the tire pressure wouldn't show up until I hit a certain speed for a certain amount of time. Anyway, after driving for 5-6km over 40km/h (IIRC) then the display for the pressures showed up on the dash.

I ordered the Kia OEM part from Amazon.com. Out of the blue, I was refunded $13 for import fee deposit that was over estimated.

Reason for Edit: Adjusted Link, and added details of programming.

Good to know, I just ordered mine off of Amazon for $85 USD. Expect them to arrive in March
