TPMS valve replacement or an extra set

Had a job last Saturday where an existing customer with a Peugeot had ordered 4 new wheels for his car so he could keep his winter tyres on the existing rims and just swap the wheels when summer came. We would be fitting Goodyear Eagle 235/20/19 92Y to the new wheels.

The only thing was that his car has TPMS valves fitted so each time the wheels are swapped the valves would have to be removed from the wheel that was on the car too the wheel that was about to go on the car.

Not a good idea as these valves can be a bit fragile if they have got any form of corrosion on them.

Luckily we now have a hand held computer that can read the existing valves and program a clone valve so the car does not know the difference. The cloning process only takes a couple of minutes and it means that both sets of wheels now have TPMS valves that the car recognises and can read.

These programmable valve can also be used to replace broken or faulty valves even if we cannot read them because the computer has the details of every type of valve installed on the cars in the UK.

If you are having problems with your TPMS valves or would like an extra set to go into your wheels with winter tyres on call Hometyre on 0800 783 93 10 or 0333 444 5454 and we will come to you
