Default TPMS install

I just had new run flats put on my Z06 and forgot to give the dealer my new tpms sensors. Will they have to remove tires to install the new sendors or can they break the bead and get to them? I’m thinking they’ll need to take tire off since sidewalk is so stiff.

I've heard that you can but in practice, no tire place that I called was willing to try it. Interested to hear what others say.

The answer is yes and they need to break the bead. They may have to rebalance each wheel.
