Default TPMS Sensors and TPMS programmer

I have two front wheels that I need to get tires on and also need 2 TPMS sensors for them, where is the best place to get the sensors? Also I got 2 rear wheels that have been widened with Nitto 555R2 tires 305/35/18 that are going on the car also. Would it be benificial to get a TPMS programmer, would I be able to switch wheels out and make the adjustments myself? if so where is the best place to get one of these also?


Thanks

The sensors are readily available in the parts section. A for the programmer forum member BEZ06 is your friend.

Hey Chubz77 - PM me and I can send you a 6% discount code for some sensors & the programmer. (Also works on everything on the site, too, in case you want to buy some other goodies now or later. )

It's really easy with the programmer, if you look at it on our site we have directions.

Also, if you look around here we've had quite a few forum members buy the kit from us and as far as I know, everyone has been happy.

As far as switching the wheels out, I'm assuming your stock sensors were put in? It's important it was done by a reputable shop - I understand the valve-mounted units can be a bit tricky, so take it somewhere you trust.
