Be a baller and fill your tires with nitrogen.
Anyone have car tire problems during cold weather?

Don't quote me, but I think replacing them is somewhat a standard process when getting a new tire. Too lazy to look, but I'm sure you can easily find out.
This story would be a lot funnier told from the perspective of the AAA guy.
The cost of replacing a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor can vary greatly depending on the type of vehicle, brand and type of sensor, location of replacement, and labor cost. The average cost can range from $50 to $200 per tire, with the average cost being around $100 to $150 per tire.

It’sa tire for fvcks sakeMy tire pressure sensor came on 18 months ago and my tire was flat.
I drive a Toyota Corolla so I always figure it's invincible.
I have AAA because I don't know squat about car repairs.
It was part of the package Farm and Fleet quoted me last time I got some new shoes for the SUV. I know I would not agree to a couple of hundred extra beans if they were working. Just saw a video where Walmart does it for 30 bones.
Maybe it depends on the vehicle, but I think the TPMS has to match the vehicle make and model not the tire.
I've had experience with one car having tires filled with nitrogen, and I didn’t notice much of a difference.
You shouldn’t pay over $70 for a Toyota sensor installed. Go to Discount Tire if the dealer won’t do it for that.
Avoid dealerships at all costs for maintenance repairs.
There's a reason they're called "stealerships."
I've replaced them in my Tundra for under $75 each.
If you end up needing a new TPMS sensor, you can buy a Denso (probably the OE manufacturer) for $38 plus shipping from Rockauto. There's no rush, your tire isn't going to fail because of a bad sensor. For installation and programming, a tire shop can probably do it, but I'd talk to them first to be sure they have the ability to program. My guess is most do. Otherwise, I'll bet any mechanic shop with a tire machine would do it for an hour labor. Those will be the cheapest viable options with a quality part.
However, as suggested here, before you do that spend a dollar or two and get a manual pressure gauge and check it.

Thanks. I'm going to try to go to my mechanic on Tuesday.
Any Discount Tire or Fleet Farm type auto place will replace/program for about 40-50 per tire.
Been having a problem on my truck after purchasing new tires for it. Only happens when on the interstate at high speeds.
Figure it's one gone bad or lose on the stem Aftermarket replacements are around $125.00 to $150.00 for my truck tire.
I'll have it/them changed next time I buy new tires.
Seen in a couple threads down your light is still on. My light goes out after a day or so.
You needn't fill your tires as much. In planes and racing cars, it's used because it suppresses fires. In my car, I use it because the molecules are bigger than the side walls compared to compressed air. I can maintain tire pressure season after season with zero fill ups. And the pressure rarely changes by 1 psi.

When it comes to tire pressure, is inflating your tires with nitrogen better than air? Learn more about your options, from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
Op, sounds like the ‘Rolla is low on blinker fluid. Make sure the reservoir is full and you should be good to go!
In fairness, I've only had one car with nitrogen filled tires so not a good sample size. But for the cost I'm not impressed.
A tire can lose pressure for various unplanned reasons. I have a LP sized air compressor at the crib, and portable air compressors in all vehicles. Also AAA member when needed.
Correct. I've only replaced them after a faulty valve stem.
Air is 78% nitrogen.
The reason for nitrogen in tires is if you're racing, and want to be able to predict the increase in pressure with increase in heat (to know the change in spring rate), and air with different levels of water vapor is less predictable.
Your tires aren't going to get over 200', so you'd never notice.
If there is a reason for nitrogen in consumer tires I'm curious what it would be.
The tire is full of "air" when you mount it, and that air is still there when you fill it to psi with nitrogen. So, unless they install the tire in a vacuum, you don't have pure nitrogen in the tire.
Sometimes you can lose air hitting potholes or curbs.
My gas station only has air, not nitrogen. It's really good air .
78 percent of ambient air is nitrogen. Most nitrogen filling machines deplete your tire of air over multiple cycles and then inject nitrogen.
