Default tpms mounting
I just bought new tpms for my wheels.

Is there a particular direction the sensors need to be fitted inside the wheel?

Also, when mounting the tpms to the wheel(s)...make sure you torque the valve-stem -- if you don't, it can result in a very sloooooow leak.

But not too tight or you'll pinch the rubber oring.

The torque spec is 62 inch-lbs. (that's only about 5 ft.-lbs.).
