TPS sensor
Tried searching here on this topic and couldn't locate what I needed. Can the TPS sensors be replaced without removing the tire from the wheel? I just had two new front tires installed and it took 2 guys, a tire machine a stick of dynamite and the jaws of life to get the tires off/on and I'd rather not go thru that experience again.

I agree. Had a nice tire alignment machine and I've known the owner for almost 20 years but I'm guessing run flats are a different kind of animal. I would do the sensors myself but since mine need to have that special tool and not just the magnet, I may try my local goodyear.....

I just had new run flats installed a month ago on my BMW. My guy has the "touchless" tire mounter, it took him roughly 15 minutes a wheel to dismount the existing tire and install the new one. With the proper equipment runflats are no more difficult that non-runflats according to him. I suggest looking for a shop that has roadforce equipment. Do you have a Discount Tire near you? They have the right equipment.
