Which aftermarket TPMS sensor to buy?
#2
I have two sets of wheels. These work perfectly. Just completed a 3500-ish mile excursion with the off-road wheel/tire set (which have the aftermarket TPMS senders in them) and they worked flawlessly, flashing a warning when I was aired down to 23 psi and turning the warning off once I aired back up to Light Load setting.

OEM TPMS at Decent Price
Recently picked up up a lightly used set of 20inch stock rims missing TPMS. After reading the threads I got a bit of anxiety with aftermarket options so did some searching for reasonably priced OEM.
Found a great deal on 4 OEM sensors from https://www.lrparts.net . $144.00 usd shipped. All in, $36.00 each.
Advertised as compatible to any 2020 and up LR vehicle. Fingers crossed 🤞
Go for $128 each and up from US dealers.
Part Number: LR156918

Local dealer wanted over $800 for set of 5.
I got a set of 5 from Discount tire for a normal price. About $200 for the five if memory serves. A big box of them to choose from. They cloned them to the original set and told me they'd take care of things if there was any problems. There were none. Costco didn't have the right ones when I went to get my second set installed on my new rims which is why I had to look elsewhere.

Hey guys sorry for the 'basic' question. But does the car need to be programmed with the sensors or does it automatically find them once you begin driving? I've had cars that were incredibly painful to program and some that didn't require anything but to pop them on and drive.

The other way to wake them is use a fairly powerful magnet, like one from an old hard drive or one of the strong neodymium ones. Hold the lock & unlock buttons on the remote, the car will chirp. Hold the magnet near the base of the valve stem, move it around until the car's mirrors move in and out, like a hippo's ears. repeat for all 4 wheels. The other method is drive at below 15 mph for a couple of minutes and the TPMS should sync. The dealer simply uses the doughnut method, which is an electromagnet, same as the neodymium magnet, just is a plug in and looks impressive, both make a magnetic field to activate the sensor. Now if they have not been used for a while, you need to drive them to charge them, the rotation somehow causes the sensor unit to recharge.

Yep, agreed. I have two sets of wheels/tires that I like to switch out for the occasional more aggressive overland trip. My BFG KO2's look great and perform off road, but you can't beat the quiet factory GY Wranglers for logging those highway miles). Despite numerous warnings from other posts and forums, the ones from tire-rack work great and were plug and play. Takes 15-30 minutes of driving for the new ones to register with the TPMS system each time I switch tires/wheels, but otherwise all good.
