Hello all,
I am looking to lift my Tahoe soon, so that means swapping the wheels. I don't want to seperate my stock rims/tires to get the tire pressure sensors out for the new wheels.
So my question is when I get the aftermarket wheels, can I just buy a seperate used set of pressure sensors in the new wheels and be fine and work okay?
Thank you for your time,
Jay

I had this same question when I was looking at changing to aftermarket wheels. What I was told is that most wheels will accept the sensors. However you will need to check with the wheel manufactuer or company selling the wheels to make sure the wheel will hold the sensors.
You can find the sensors on ebay for around 100.
Lastly, once you get the new wheels and tires on you will need to have a dealer program your vehicle to adjust for the new sensors and different pressure. I am sure someone on here can give you more details and tech terms than I am providing. But this is a general idea.

Thank you,
I know there are some people installing aftermarket wheels without the sensors, so are there any error codes or lights that come on without the sensors installed?
Thanks, Jay

Jay,
I was told that there will be some type of light and/or notification on your dash if you dont use the sensors. Personally I would for sure use the sensors. I was told from a few people that there wasnt a way to get rid of the notification if you dont use the sensors, however I would think that it would be possible to get it off I just dont know how or by whom.

Jay,
You should be able to use the sensors on any tire. They are actually screwed into place using the stem. What type of tahoe do you have? (model) and do you have the auto leveling system?

I just installed new sensors on my aftermarket wheels today. I think they were like $125. Definately worth not having the headache of switching them every time you have to change out the wheels for winter. Getting them caliberated with the computer was a pain in the you-know-what though.
