  • I use to do tires when I was younger, but was wondering about the TPM's. If I wanted to change the sensor in the tire and was able to get a new sensor that weighs the same and just change it myself and have a shop program it could I? I know people in the business and can get an old sensor to weigh and they'll program it for me. Just wondering if I could get away from having a shop do it. If the sensor weighs the same it won't throw off the balance and it's not a problem breaking the bead without a tire machine. I have a compressor to reseat the bead. I've been asked from several people wondering if I could do it for them. Thanks

Well if you use the same exact sensor it would weigh the same. But if used aftermarket sensors it probably wouldn't. If you take your old sensor off and have a scale like a postal scale way and see if they weigh the same
