Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I could help.

Glad I can help!

yea, but he didn't show how to reprogram it ..

​@@hjkjccdggjhvbread the title of the video. And watch what was said in the first minute of the video :46

Glad you showed this, tho im hopefully not going to buy an automobile with these, until forced by law? And environmental economic sabateurs...

That's a great idea!

Thanks!

You can probably get Discount Tire/America's Tire to use their tool to read the ID being broadcast from each of the sensors without breaking them down. It would only take them 5 minutes, and they might do it for $5 in the tip jar. I have a relatively inexpensive TPMS relearn tool from Autel that does this, so I'd fully expect any tire shop to have the capability.

@@bent.cyclist I took my car to Discount Tire & they did it for free. I gave the Dude a $20 tip after. Thank you so much for your info.

Thanks for the kind words! Happy to help

Actually you need to rebalance it anyway.his wheels are unbalanced here. This will wear out the bearings and ball joints faster. Yeah, it's gonna be like 5000 dollars to repair a mistake made to save like 50 dollars

It's difficult to put the whole tire on in the same position. If you use the chalk method and manage to get it back on in the same position and it's still balanced, then all the power to you. I think I'd rather keep one side on. And don't listen to José. If you replace one sensor with another using the method I showed, the wheels will still be balanced, like I discussed at 2:17. I know because I've done it. He hasn't.

@@GabesHacks aNd DoNt LiStEn To JoSe......

@@GabesHacks Good point. Keeping on side seated assures the tire doesn't rotate on the rim.

I hope it works out for you 👍

I appreciate the kind words! I'm glad I can help.

Oh boy... thanks for sharing!

Run it. IMO, a little junk in the tire isn't gonna harm anything.

Richard Schwarz They still need rebalancing.

The only part that made me cringe was the cutting.

😂😂😂😂😂

Nah just people that know what they’re doing and realizing he doesnt

No, just people that likes their wheels balanced

For the sake of others reading this, I talked about balance at 2:17. If you replace one sensor with another using the method I show, your wheels will still be balanced. But by all means, if you have doubts, get your wheels balanced.

What dislikes? 😐

Yeah.... if it wasn't for that light on the dash and my OCD, I might just ditch them. I just don't like features on my car not working the way they're supposed to. And y'never know, maybe one day it'll actually come in handy.

Yeah, I mean, they aren't necessarily wrong. The others will go at some point down the road. But there's also the chance one was a lemon and went much sooner than it should have.

@@GabesHacks but they said soon after they bound to fail. I almost took their word for it but asked a trustworthy mechanic I sometimes use and he said no they can last for a long time.

Yeah, it's ok though. I have thick skin 🙂

Yeah, that's silly, but unfortunately not uncommon.

I'm still around 🙂 just haven't posted in a while (although I have something in the works). I'm glad it helped!

Awesome, that's great to hear!

It doesn't always work. If any sealant was used on the tire, then it won't and you can use a different method like this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7x5dqmS1J6xmqs.html

😄 Glad I could help!

That's high praise! Thank you 🙂

Sure this may work good on a steel wheel but try doing that on an alloy wheel especially one that has a wide tire

@@Americafirst-i8q Yeah, it may not work for every wheel type.

.

Fully agree!!!

Awesome! That's what I like to hear.

That's a new one! I've never heard of "needing" special tires. The service manual for my van says you need special rims to use TPMS, but that's only because the special rims have weights built in to offset the weight of the sensor, but that doesn't really mean you can't use normal rims.

Gabe's Hacks She may have a vehicle with Run Flat tyres.

Thanks 🙂 I don't worry too much. I only reply for the sake of other people who may think what they say makes sense. And sometimes I actually learn something!

Thank you!

And there was no distracting background noise: tvs, babies, road traffic...

Let me know how it goes! Just remember that you car needs to know the new sensor is there. Some cars automatically learn new sensors, so you don't need to do anything. Others have a manual procedure you can do without tools. Others must be programmed with a tool. So just be aware.

I went to my WALLMART and they said they don't install TPMS sensors. I had my Prius with two dead TPMS sensors that had dead batteries in them. So the other two were good. I had four tires installed. I replaced the dead TPMS sensors....I scanned and could not clear the code error...guess what ? After the new tires were installed...Wally killed my two TPMS sensors that were good prior to new tire install ! Wally said since the TPMS light was on its not their fault. RANK AMATEURS...

@@dionkraft6782 Yeah, I've heard similar horror stories about Walmart...

😁 Yeah. But don't let that discourage you. You can still do it.

Sketchers! I think I went through 3 pairs of those (just bought the same ones again when they fell apart). I moved on to another kind now (no laces - I always left them tied and slipped them on anyway) but I still keep these as my "work" shoes.

Thanks! I do imagine it would be harder on low profile tires, but I've never owned any.

Low pros would not be fun as it's already not fun with a tire machine.

Just be aware that you may need to teach your car the new sensor. Some cars automatically learn new sensors, but some don't. So you'll have to look into that for your car. I go into that in more detail in my other video that I linked to in the description of this one.

Yep I have the process for my vehicle, fortunately my '08 still has a manual process you can use without a tool to learn.

The bead on his tire broke really easy. Mine was MUCH more difficult. I had to slide the tire up under the car, place a piece of 2x4 under the car and on the bead and let the car down on it. I used very long levers and it still wouldn't break. It took the weight of the car to make it work,

I'm right there with you Hilary 2020😂😂

@@MrBubbadon Whoever mounted the tire last could have used a tire sealant (it's usually a black goop). I had to fight with this when I moved tires for my car to different rims. The method I used in this video didn't work at all. I used the method I saw in another video using a jack: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7x5dqmS1J6xmqs.html

You can also get a similar response by just simply moving the weight away from the sensor a bit. For every 1/4 oz the sensor weighs, move the weight the distance of the clamp holding it to the rim away from the sensor. Usually that provides sufficient compensation for any weight difference. But ultimately, you may just have to have the tires re-balanced anyway.

My respond strictly complies with Mechanics. Many ways are possible. You can use a rod scale, with length of the rod, equal to width of the rim and hang the rod in the same distance from its edge, as the sensor is. Of course, the scale must be balanced, when idle. Balance such a scale with 23 grams of sand. You will get balancing weights for each side.

Great Advice, but it's bead sealer. Soap remains slippery after sealing, and tire may rotate on the rim, causing weight balance issue. Bead Sealer goes on slippery, but dries to be like rubber.

Wow, that's nuts!

Just to put sensors in??? Oh my gosh! I thought $120 was too much when I had new tires put on.

That HAD to include the cost of the sensors. Most tire shops will unmount tire, install sensor, remount tire, and rebalance for around $30.00 per wheel.

@@danielmoffett8595 Even if the sensors were included, $600 is ridiculous. While $30 per tire for only installation is a little more reasonable, it's still a bit of a money grab. It would take one guy about a half hour to do all 4. If you're willing to pay for it, maybe at least find a place that will just charge you their regular hourly shop rate for the time it actually takes, rather than a flat rate.

@@GabesHacks if you've already got all your wheels off and lined up ready to go it MIGHT only take a half hour. A mechanic's time starts as soon as the car drives through the door. That includes jacking the car up, taking all for wheels off, doing the complete change-out of the sensors, remounting the wheels on the car, then lowering the car off the jack (and shop rates are typically $100 to $120/hour). Your video took over 11 minutes, for ONE wheel, that was already off the car sitting ready at your "hacked" (and I don't mean hacked in a good way) bead breaker. All 4 in a half hour? I think not. If you think you can, do a video of you doing ALL for starting when the wheel are still on the car and ending when the wheels are back on the car, AND the sensors are all relearned.

Hey, some people need help to stay awake when driving.

come on... it's not about if you can feel it or not, unbalanced wheel can make the bearing wear out faster

Yeah, I've heard that. I did try it one time but it didn't work for me. But I don't doubt that it works in some cases.

I've had to do the ratchet strap trick when putting new tires on a lawn tractor. Works every time.

It's a bit of work, but it works!

Glad I could help!

Most the time they will not have a sensor. Just to give you a heads up. 🙂

Erica Campbell yaaa these wheels I got are factory wheels for my car that I bought from someone and good news. It did have the sensors on them... bad news, the batteries are dead 😭😭😂 so my TIre sensor light is still on 😕😕😫

Thank you! I'm glad I can help.

Yeah..... There are some people who can't seem to reply with anything other than "let a professional do it". Professionals aren't some different being than the rest of us. If they can do it, you can do it, although it might take more effort.

I've never touched a motorcycle tire, no. What leads you to believe the internal ones would be better?

I change tires on my Super Tenere pretty regularly with 3 tire spoons and a 4th for bead braking. The two keys that I have learned are ensure the tires are warm and use generous amounts of legitimate tire lube. The first is easy, take the bike for a ride and set the replacement tire in the sun or near a heat vent. The second, I bought a gallon of RuGlyde from Napa which will likely last me the rest of my motorcycling life(I'm almost 30 and won't be stopping soon). I have given up on not scratching my rims as I treat my Tenere like the overgrown enduro bike that it is. However, the MotionPro Rimshield II do work but are a little fiddly. Some tires are just flat out more difficult than others; I have found a decent price, ease of use, and longevity in Shinko 804/805 tires and will probably continue to use them. I am certain some some internet searching could identify the sport/touring equivalent. My last comment is my most recent time/headache saver, Ride-On tire sealant. The stuff is kind of expensive but the time and piece of mind saved by not balancing my tires is great. I have yet to experience a puncture with it but believe it will hold up just fine.

I talked about how I programmed mine here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJygaduHmbbQeJc.html I used programmable sensors, so I programmed the sensors themselves because I wanted an identical set for my winter tires. You could also get normal sensors and program the vehicle (which you need a different tool for). But some cars automatically learn new sensors and you don't need to program anything at all. It depends on your car.

That works too!

What brand/product did you get?

@@pwgrant Tymate

That's awesome! I'm glad I could help. I hope it all works out for you.

Hey Gabe, have a great day man, you're a smart guy. I checked out your other vids too, great content! If you have ig I'll follow you, im at @djquestionthis

Same lol

Thanks! I'll have to try that next time.

heyitschino Some early sensors were fitted opposite the valve. Always break it at 90°

Thank you! I have actually been to Chile - back in 2001. My dad is from Chile.
