[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to replace TPMS sensors very often, especially when you replace your tires.  How old is your car?  Do you see any TPMS amber light on your dashboard?   If no and if the dealer tells you you have to replace them with new tires, they are lying.

Car and tires are 5 years old, with less than 40k miles on them.  We previously had a flat and needed to replace the tire, at that point dealer advised us that they frequently have to refit or replace (not sure which) tires that have been fitted incorrectly and mess up the sensor.  That's what they said when we were talking about a damaged tire.  I don't know enough about tires/sensors etc to know whether this was just an attempt to get our business or if it was something specific to a damaged tire, or what.  But I didn't want to take it to one of the hole in the wall tire places in NE DC near where we live.  There is no TPMS amber light on.  Does that mean that the whole sensor issue is moot?[/quote]
