<div dir="ltr">IMO, I ignore the damned things, at least as far as replacing them, unless one is leaking. I've been quoted around $120/each to replace them. That said, I'll offer good odds that pretty much everybody in this group keeps an eye on tire pressure. As a rule of thumb tire pressure varies around 2 PSI with a 10 degree change in ambient temperature.<div><br></div><div>I have my tires balanced and rotated every 5K and that's worked out well. Getting ready to replace the tires on our 2015 Odyssey, which seems like it eats tires. Can't remember what I paid for the last set (Yokohama YK-CTX) at that time, nor do I remember the mileage on the van when I bought them, but I can find out. Discount has them for $202, plus the usual add-ons. Discount also has the Michelin Defender 2 with a considerably longer service life, for $211 through February, so I plan to buy those this time around.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 30, 2026 at 8:36 AM Old Dirtbeard <<a href="mailto:dirtbeard@live.com">dirtbeard@live.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-8098392917260077496">

Same problems here, Moose. I have reduced/stopped tire rotations as a result. Not a good response, I know...</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [Shop-talk] TSP Sensors</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">OK, it seems to be happening more and more these days. I replace a tire pressure sensor (TPS) with a compatible one for the car. However, my TPS programmers don't seem to work on these after market
sensors (they still can program all the OEM sensors.)</span> <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I spent a bunch of time on support lines with the Schader sensors and they say that use an open standard, but every TPS programmer I asked them about 'isn't supported." (Note, I have 3 different ones.) To
make it worse, they can't tell me which ones WILL work, I just have to ask them and they can answer yes or no.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Now, the programmers I have are cheap amazon ones, so it could be they aren't up to date.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">So, what is a GOOD comprehensive TPS programmer I can buy that should do most sensors?</span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Thanks in advance.</span> <br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Moose</span> </div>
