No big deal? Planning on purchasing one later? Have faith in the patch kit?
Same here...those super-sensitive flat tire sensors have always given me more than ample warning, but I DO pay attention to them.That said i haven't changed a tire on the road side in decades
Did all that cost more than the sensor? I like the idea of a spare with road trips. Particularly after my in-town run in with a curb and the inconvenience of that.the fix-it kit that comes with our car, if used, will ruin the TPMS
sensor in that wheel forcing you to buy a new sensor which I'm told costs around $80.
Upon buying my car, I went to the local discount hardware store and bought a scissor
jack....then I purchased an extra wheel and bought and mounted a new tire on it.
No, the jack, tire, and wheel was probably about $200 total.....but think about it....if youDid all that cost more than the sensor? I like the idea of a spare with road trips. Particularly after my in-town run in with a curb and the inconvenience of that.
I rarely get a flat but considering what you say....I would agree the additional cost of run flat tires would definitely worth it especially if you travel a lot.No, the jack, tire, and wheel was probably about $200 total.....but think about it....if you
have just 2 flat tires along with the accompanying frustration, thats pretty well worth the
$200 investment and its accompanying piece of mind. Two things, I'd hate to have to keep
replacing the TPMS sensor, and I don't like being stranded.
