I know a tire shop that will do it for $40 or less, but they'll scratch your shit.
They can do it for free.

Doesn't it make sense that they have to charge you for dismounting and remounting the tires that are on the old wheels to get to the TPMS?

I want to go but my car is dirty and I won't be able to get to a car wash until tomorrow morning. How long does it go for? I know it starts at 0700. I might go and park with the spectators.

Rebuilding? it's literally 1 screw that just needs a Torx T20 o_O

What tires and how much? I find independent shops much cheaper... maybe you can get a return?

10 bucks to rebuild... i figure its not bad sicne they'll be dismounting/remounting the old wheels and tires...

I got the Continental DWS. I've bought these in the past for my old Benz and was extremely happy with them. They're quiet, smooth, and perform well around twisties, not to mention the 50,000 mile warranty on them.

I paid $1100 for all 4 tires with certs. This was after researching and making them pricematch with the cheapest shops around (online as well as physical). I'm sure they might be cheaper at an indy shop but I like Discount bc they're everywhere and I dont have a spare tire. So If anything ever happens i can just get towed to the nearest one and get em replaced.
