How much of a pain was changing the TPMS over? Did the tire place screw it up. Supersexy pics squatting on those 19's. I look forward to doing something similar with mine this year.

we didnt swap them yet.

its easy, we have the state of the art HUNTER roadforce MB machines...

make sure the guys doing them know how to mount/dismount with them... the sensor ALWAYS has to be behind the point of traction when working on them.

cheers

Chad-

Here is a "trick" we use here for the TPMS system. Haven't tried it on a X yet, but seems to work on a few different manufacturers we tried ie: Mazda, Volvo, Audi etc...Fits conveniently in the glove box

Method: Take 2 sensors and zip tie them with a spacer between the sensors. This will keep pressure applied to the sensors. Do this for the other 2 as well and you should be all set to run the wheels minus the sensors. This is only convenient if you plan on routinely running multiple wheels on the same car.

Chad I do owe you. Hopefully we're somewhat even with the Test Pipe deal. Once I get the rims/tires on the car I'll make a thread and of course mention you. You've been a great help.

Post some pics of the test pipe ya bum, I dont have any good ones, they sell out to quickly!!
