Dis Mounting Run-Flats
Anybody have any recent experience on the Cost to remove a Run-Flat Tire from a Rim equipped with Pressure Sensors. I need to have this done on a Set of Chrome Rims I am selling. The Rims are perfect, the Tires are not.

Thanks for the info.
My Rims are off the car, all I need is removal of the 4 Tires. No balance needed.
Someone on the Forum has suggested to loosen and drop the Sensor into the Tire before Removal begins to avoid any Damage, does that work?

I have used this method and had no problems. I have also removed runflats without removing the sensor by simply positioning the sensor just beyond where the removal process begins on the rim. By the time the bar gets around to the sensor the tire is free of the rim and there is little chance of damaging it.
Good luck and be careful and you should be fine... GUSTO

I'm having 2 runflats removed, 2 non-runflats removed, and then the TPMS swapped over to new rims and 4 non runflats installed and balanced for $75 but that's a deal thru a friend. A quote for the same from a local tire place was $150.
