So, the two cars in my signature(Altima & Civic) both 5 years old now, are in need of new tires this coming Spring 2020. I am in the process of buying tires and will have them installed soon after Winter for the Spring Tire Changeover.
Can you folks comment on whether or not, in your experience, to change out the batteries in the TPMS Sensors at this time? Do the batteries typically last, Oh IDK, 10 years?
We are not experiencing any TPMS issues with leaking or accuracy. What is going on in your experience?
Yes I know, this is the best time to change out the batteries since the tires will be dismounted from the wheels. But, if there is no need, I'd rather not do it.
Also, one installer recommends changing out the rubber O-Rings/Seals on the "valve stem type" of TPMS sensor. But, I don't want them touching anything that isn't broken/leaking.
Thanks,
CB
