Default Wheels Question

What's up everyone.

I'm considering ditching the wagon wheels on my '99 coupe. Can I use the tire sensors in my wagon wheels with Y2K and newer OEM chrome wheels, or will I need to purchase some new tire sensors for the new wheels?

Thanks in advance everyone

Your sensors will work on your new wheels. Make sure the installer unscrews the the nuts on valve stems and drops the valve / sensor into the tire after releasing the air pressure and before breaking the tire bead.

If they are the ones that came in the car. You might want to go ahead and get new one. Those want last much longer

the sensors are good for 8 to ten years.
