But what about replacing them? Here we look at some common questions.

Yes, you can rotate tyres with TPMS sensors. However the system will need to be reset after a rotation to ensure accurate readings.
Can I replace just 1 TPMS sensor?
Yes, you can replace just 1 TPMS sensor. It is recommended to replace all sensors at the same time however - since they have a similar lifespan.
Can you swap TPMS sensors?
Yes, you can swap TPMS sensors. If you choose to do this, the system may need to be reprogrammed to ensure accurate readings.
Do you need to replace TPMS with a new tyre?
No, you do not need to replace TPMS with a new tyre.
When to replace a TPMS system?
The TPMS system does not need to be replaced unless it is not functioning properly or damaged.
However, the sensors have a typical lifespan of 5-7 years and may need to be replaced after this period.
