Hi all. I'm changing my Nitto Terra Grappler G2s for the new G3s (the G2s were terrible in the wet but I've done a lot of research and the G3s are supposed to be a vast improvement). The TMPS are about 10YO, so I'm going to change those also. Can anyone recommend a non-OEM brand TMPS (obtainable ideally in Canada)? The tyre fitter can do a set for $220 but I'm not sure what brand and neither is he.

Thanks.

 

TPMS contains a communications specification. Brand doesn't matter as much as correct frequency. Ours use frequency 433MHz.
Also, our systems are "autodetecting". Meaning there is no need to program the new sensors, but many do anyways.

Beware, sensors that have been on the shelf for a long time, will have a limited life.

 

Thanks @guy I'm aware that they 'should' be generic, but I'm equally aware from both personal and learned experience that the vehicles are picky when it comes to what they'll connect to, hence the question. The reading I've done suggests that the cheaper Amazon models can be impossible to get to connect and that VDO (i.e. OEM) is the way to go. I'm leaning that way despite the increased cost given that they'll be in there for about 7 years based upon my use of tyres. I was hoping someone might have had experience with one brand or another that worked for them.

 

:-) Glad you think like that.

Thus, I usually go oe (not oem) for critical systems. Not sure tpms qualifies as critical, for me ;-)
That being said, I'm not a fan of chinesium. aka least expensive vendor from an alley in...

 

I have A-Premium TPMS sensors on my LR4 and they have worked for about 2 years without an issue. Despite @guy chiding me about other A-Premium products. They are a Chinese Amazon brand.

 

LOL. "Chide"?? I don't recall ever pointing anyone out. Merely describe what I do. Now if you're feeling scolded on what I do... that is entirely on you.
