Thanks AK, i think i will go that route. With that in mind, i think i'll probably end up just buying new ones for my new wheels (For summer/Fall), and once i dismount the old wheels i'll have them remove the tpms and then save those for my winter setup. Phelan, i'd love to do that... unfortunately i have about a 2 week timeframe before i HAVE to have these in order to send them to the wheel store so they can mount and balance them with them. When i look at the TPMS for the Z on tire rack, it offers me the sensors for 396 ( i guess they went up in price) and then this ATEQ TPMS reset tool for another 135. does this actually work on the Z? did anyone get this thing? "Your system includes: 315MHz Tire Pressure Sensor $396.00 for a quantity of 4 ATEQ TPM QUICKSET RESET TOOL $135.00 for a quantity of 1 Total Price: $531.00" |

When I put my aftermarket rims on I did get new sensors. I got them cheap through Ebay. I didn't want to have the labor charge of taking the old ones out of my factory rims. I had them programmed at my local dealership and they work perfect. My recommendation is to get them. Who wants a light on all the time. People say after awhile they don't notice it but still. |

I haven't priced out the winter tires yet but isn't everything relating to this car expensive? Also my stocks are the 18" wheels so they might be a tiny bit cheaper. I plan on only putting snow tires on the rears and then some all seasons on the fronts, unless someone can convince me that I should do snows on all 4.

definitely snows on all four. and 18's is the winter set up i'm going to do. But yea... all four snow tires. Tire rack has a whole article on why.
"Why Four Winter Tires? I Thought I Would Only Need Two. Today's winter tires are better at providing ice and snow traction than ever before. The technology used to develop the tread designs and tread compounds has evolved beyond what you may have used previously. Every one of our tire manufacturers and 7 out of 10 vehicle manufacturers recommend four winter tires be used on rear wheel, front wheel or four wheel drive vehicles. This is because if you use two dissimilar types of tires on your vehicle, you'll have a vehicle that has a "split" personality. One end of the vehicle won't react and perform the same as the other in the dry, wet, slush and snow conditions you'll encounter before the end of winter. Especially in emergency situations, you'll find that your vehicle will probably understeer in one condition and oversteer in another. It is preferable to keep your vehicles handling as consistently as possible by "matching" all four tires. Our customers who have matched their tires tell us they're glad they made the extra investment in four winter tires (and wheels) so they can accelerate, brake, handle and better control their vehicle through winter's challenges." |

a company called Schrader is the manufacturer of the oem ones i believe. Tire rack sells the oem sensors for 99 dollars each.
Update: the ATEQ sensor STILL does not work for our 2009/2010 Z's supposedly the update is coming in the summer. |

I got the Advan RS-Ds to replace wheels that were stolen last week. They came in today and the dealer is putting them on right now. They just called me and told me that the stock TPMS won't "fit" on the wheels... is this true?

brining up an older thread... i am planning on getting some SSR's wrapped with new tires but i wont be running TPMS. 2 questions:
1) is the TPMS light on the large screen or is there a small icon in the cluster? - i like to show ambient temp all the time on the large screen and would be clumsy to scroll screen each time. 2) does the car make audible warniing each time i start the car without TPMS telling me there's something wrong with the TPMS? |
