The previous owner replaced the rear driver side tire valve with a sensor with one without sensor. Now that valve steam is leaking, proved with soapy water, so much that need inflate tire every 2 weeks. The question is if tire valve with sensor has bigger diameter and somebody put one standard tire valve there? I'm perfectly fine without pressure sensors in tire.

 

Replace the stem

 

And standard valve steam is same radius like valve steam with pressure sensor?

 

 

Also, preprogrammed tpms are very inexpensive for our cars. Order and have the shop replace all at once

 

I pumped that tire with leaking valve to 48psi on Saturday. Max is 51psi. Felled vibrations already Saturday night but big time today, Monday. It turns out that the tire (it is rear driver side) is deformed now and most likely made these big vibrations. Will do photos tomorrow and will replace tire. It was not too old. I do not know why it gave up with me pumping it to 48psi or so.
The question is can I ask at the tire place if they have tire sensor for my car. I did read something about programing. Can He, She or lgmptbuditg just use sensor from another 3g.

 

48psi is alot of pressure. That’s probably why it deformed. If you only needed to fill it every two weeks, you had a very slow leak.

You can either buy TPMS sensors yourself or just have the shop install them. The shop I used to work at had them on hand so we could offer to replace them if a customer needed them.

 

Sort of ps off. I didn't even know I could destroy tires with too much pressure. Pressure was falling from 37psi to 10 psi in 2 weeks.

 

It happens man! Luckily tires for our cars are pretty inexpensive. Yeah if it was going that low, there isn't much that could be done without fixing the leak.

 

Replaced that tire and vibrations are gone. Get lucky to spot problem right away as tomorrow morning tire was at 10 psi and would not spot that bump if would check day after. The tire was worn at edges and my guess was that the previous owner drove at low pressure tire for longer time. Was thinking to just replace valve and keep tire, maybe will not deform again but give up on that option. Didn't install tpms as I need not it and would cost 70$.

 

Looking at that photo I rather think tire collapsed in then deformed out. Watch where is green arrow. It is where air was leaking over night my guess.

 

One day, they'll invent some sort of monitoring system that can be installed in tires that allows the car's legal guardian to preemptively determine when the tire's pressure is getting low... One day...
