TPMS Swap over

One of the jobs this week was for a previous customer who has bought a new Ford Mondeo. The car came with Low profile tyres on 19" rims which he did not like as the ride was hard. He also had a set of 18" rims already fitted with Pirelli tyres, which he wanted to have fitted to his car. The problem was that the19" rims were fitted with TPMS sensors, which need to be on the car to pass an MOT.

He asked us at Hometyre Sussex to remove the larger wheels, take off the tyres, remove the TPMS sensors, then fit them to the smaller rims, and put them on the car.

The original TPMS sensors were fitted to the rims with rubber valve stems, which cannot be re-used. We at hometyre carry a range of sensor service parts and were able to fit new valve stems and fix the sensors to them.

The sensors were then put into the 18" rims, the tyres fitted over them, inflated to the correct pressures, balanced and put back onto the car.

Once complete I then checked the that the TPMS sensors were working using our diagnostic equipment. All checked out to be OK, so I was able to complete a tyre report,and issue an invoice.

Should you have TPMS sensors and need them moving, repairing or replacing then give us a call at Hometyre on 0333 444 5454 of for more info click here.
