Well, that explains the slow leak in my tire.
I couldn't keep more than 65psi in my driver's side rear tire on the ram. No obvious leaks or nothing. So, I take it to Mavis Tire and they determine the TPMS is leaking at the valve stem and replace it for free. Well, they didn't replace the TPMS. They fixed the leak and I guess there is some kind of generic kit for that.
gotta say I am happy with the service. Even before I bought my tires there, they had removed a nail from the previous set free of charge. Anyway, /TOTY...... |

When I bought my tires there, the salesman recognized I was price shopping and said, "Look, I know you're price shopping. Let me see what I can do for a deal on a set of all terrain tires."
Dude got me a great deal and i said, "Well, if you're going to make it easy, let's order the tires and set up an appointment." I think I paid less than $900 or so for 4 50K mile AT truck tires, road hazard, and god knows what else. they have Tire Kingdom, Firestone, etc... all beat by a mile. |

When I bought a new set of tires for the Tundra, I kept the old, dead-battery TPMS sensors in the wheels instead of replacing them. The cost to replace all 5 sensors was nearly the cost of the 4 new tires. I've been driving for 47 years and have never needed TPMS sensors on any vehicle I've driven and don't need them now.

Good deal. If they're hungry, they'll make a deal.

Nope. Need 75-80psi for those truck tires. More pressure keeps the road noise down and I do notice 1-2 mpg difference when properly inflated according to the MGP guage on the dash. It's not much, but I drive 84 miles per day to and from work. The little things help in the long run

Discount Tire did the same with a slow leak I had in the Trackhawk. Broke the tire down, plugged and patched it and rebalanced for free. They knew I would be back for a set of tires soon. They have also always treated me great and offered good deals.

With a dually, the sensors are great because its possible to have one rear tire low or even flat without being able to see or feel it.
