Man vs machine. Man is the best but machines are damn useful. Oh, and there'd be no pressure to monitor if we walked everywhere instead of driving our machines.
NO, I DO NOT NEED TPMS SENSORS. I actually ordered a wheel/tire setup from you guys just about a month ago. Although I got multiple notifications from you guys mentioning I should be also ordering the TPMS sensors to go with my wheels for my E91 BMW, I expressed also MULTIPLE times that I did not want them. My reasoning for not wanting them actually is for multiple reasons: First, they are not exactly cheap. When I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck in buying a wheel set to begin with, factoring in the cost of the sensors does not help. Second, I'm not a general schmo who just puts wheels on in passing. I'm a car enthusiast that is pretty anal retentive in keeping things perfectly functioning on my car. This goes for keeping an eye on tire pressure almost daily. And, when you run a set of wheels that might serve dual duty as daily runners and for the occasional track use where you might want to have varying tire pressures, they can also be a pain in this regard. I personally have changed my tire pressures upwards of 20psi per tire due to my own conditions. This makes those sensors go crazy. Also, in my region, it gets very, very cold in the winters. I DO have the TPMS sensors in my stock tire/wheel combination that I run in the winter and those stupid things are always a pain because with the extreme lower temps the air pressure is then adversely changed in the tires, then making them give me warnings on all four tires, though the result in a more normal time of the year would not yield the same result. For some people, TPMS are probably a great idea, for me, not so much. That tiny yellow light that comes on is such a small nuisance to me that I don't even notice it anymore. I would also like to mention that another related issue to buying wheels from your site means getting emails and notifications that I NEED to purchase new lug nuts/bolts with my wheels. I'm sure this is also fine for the more novice buyer, but is extremely annoying to me when I already have three sets of quality aftermarket lug nut sets (I also run a stud conversion on my BMW) at home and also about twenty different quality wheel spacers. I'm betting that a lot of your customers are quite experienced car enthusiasts and wheel buyers and are probably get a little annoyed but those constant reminders like I was. With all that said, I love the videos you guys are putting out. No one else is really doing this, and as a Graphic Designer, I appreciate the production effort you put into them, too. Keep up the good job. I just wanted to point out these little caveats in my experiences, but you guys are doing great with the site and the vids. Keep it up!
Samuel Wakefield thank you sir, I agree with you but at the same time I do the same😂 as a mechanic I recommend tpms or lug nuts sometimes even a new wheel. Not just because it’s business and it’ll give me a better check but because of safety also. Some people don’t need any of it others do.
As we said in the video, they are not necessary in all applications. We do recommend them as a safety point, but in your specific situation, you don't need them.

I left my TPMS sensors on my stock wheels when I got my aftermarket wheels. Next time I need tires I will put them on. My light goes off after I drive for about 20 miles but then when I come home and park in the garage my TPMS light turns off because my stock wheels with the TPMS sensors are sitting right next to my car lol.

@@SicloseGamings Sorry for the late reply lol. It depends. Some factory TPMS fit on on aftermarket wheels and some dont. Usually it will say on the wheel brands website if it will fit or not.
@@anthonyjacoby8682 You dont necessarily need them. Just know that your tire light is going to be on whenever you drive the car. Also, if you do happen to get a nail in your tire, you wont know because your tire light is on all the time. Honestly, I wouldnt worry about it. If youre okay with your tire light being on when you drive then do it, if not then you should put your sensors in.
I don’t understand why they make aftermarket ones for modern vehicles that has them. I was shopping on American muscle and saw some for sale for 15-23 mustang. I have a 19 mustang and I have it and I can see the tire pressure on the dashboard. So I don’t get why tf would you buy some if you already have them.
This is what I like (or at least use to like) the newer Mazdas. Since the introduction of the skyactiv models in 2014 the TPMS was integrated into the ABS instead the individual wheels so you didn't need sensors in your aftermarket wheels. They also had the easiest reset procedure possible, you just pushed and held a button on the dash for like 3 secconds. Kinda ucks that they're going back to the individual sensors.
pbfloyd13 Vw passenger is like that has been for a while now jeeps system is the worst the system is so sensitive to change you end up setting tyre pressures 10 times and test driving to clear the light 10 times before you give up and change the required value to clear the light
Every single sensor will fit into every single wheel out there because the valve hole is the same size in every wheel. Anyone who tells you a sensor won't fit into a different wheel is lying.
You should mention that "used" TMPS sensors are useless and hold almost no value. They have a non-replaceable battery in them and once that battery is dead (60k miles or 5 years) the sensor is useless. I've had a number of friends buy used TMPS sensors and get screwed because the battery in the sensor is already dead.
i have external after marker tpms only when driving and they come with a digital screen you put in your car so u can keep an eye on your tire pressure especially if your running streched tires' It helps a ton
The factory system on my daily does that and sends the pressures to the dash. When I popped a tire in April (running 235/50R18 UHP A/S on the OEM 7 spoke 18x7's then and now) and I was able to keep an eye on the pressure until I had no choice but to stop and put the spare on.
1. TPMS started in the 1980’s with the Porche 959 leading the way. They weren’t mandated at the time, but it was a good innovation. 2. TPMS was MANDATED in the early 2000’s because of Ford. Ford Explorers were rolling over and/or blowing tires out at a crazy rate because the recommended tire pressure was really low from the factory. The tire manufacturer that won the contract recommended a low pressure to solve a possible vibration issue that was known to occur in the tire line that was equipped on the Explorers. Hence, they are sometimes reffered to as Exploders. 3. There are two types of TPMS. Direct and Indirect. Sensors are used on direct systems and the ABS system is used for indirect systems. There are pros and cons to both.
Take an 8 inch diameter PVC pipe from home depot cut off 8 inches of it, buy 1 end cap and buy a screw access end cap. Buy one roll of teflon tape and some PVC glue. Mount one sensor in the tube so the you can fill the tube with air. Get some foam or cloth and through the other 3 sensor inside the tube. Teflon tape the threaded end cap cover and and grease the female side of the threaded end cap (VERY IMPORTANT). Tighten and fill with 45 psi of air. Zip-tie it or tape it to something and drive on.

Was about to say the same thing! There are people who do run them because of stretch on there tires and making sure that they aren't going to debead. People also just want to always know so they make sure nothing goes wrong.

If anybody has questions about tpms go to a local discount tire if there is one near you, we can reset and diagnose problems with your system for free. Its really not as complicated as some may think. Heres a quick little lesson on what the light means if it does come one. If your light comes on and stays solid, that simply means there is a low tire on the vehicle. Some vehicles such as newer chevy’s for example have locations for each tire in the dash and that makes it easier to find out which one is low on pressure. If its reading significantly lower than the rest then you just have something in the tire causing it to leak. If the light comes on and starts flashing that means that one or possibly more than one of your sensors is either dead or just malfunctioning in some way. Like i said if you have a Discount Tire near you then go there it seriously is free for them to scan all four sensors or 5 since some toyotas have sensors in the spare tire, they can tell you what exactly is wrong with the system. Also, back to the vehicles that display each individual tire, if you rotate your tires the sensors wont read in the correct position unless you relearn them to your ecu (unless its Dodge, Chrysler, they relearn on their own and if im not mistaken some euro cars do as well) which in that case go to Discount Tire. Long story short, tpms sensors aren’t as complicated as they sound, it only takes a couple minutes to relearn your tpms sensors. And I’m not trying to promote Discount Tire as it may seem. Just as a manger at one, its something we do every day and is very easy to fix in most cases. And if one sensor is dead, they should only charge $60 per sensor and the relearning process is included in that. While im at it, we do flats, rotations, air checks, tire inspections and tpms relearning all for free. Come see us :)

Should have mention the two differ T types of tire pressure monitor systems on cars nowadays. Also should include in the video that you need a special scan tool in order to program new tpms sensors.
It was a no brainier when I recently bought my 20x8.5 Konig Oversteer wheels I bought New TPMS Sensors for 100bucks since my OEM ones in the Car just turn 5 and that's how long TPMS batteries tend to last
I bought a used Tesla Model S recently and the TPMS were lit up - So I scheduled my service appointment and Tesla charged me $500 to replace them saying that whoever bought the most recent tires didn't buy compatible sensors. So now I want to make sure I understand what sensors I have now so I know what tires are even in the pool of compatible for the next time I need to buy tires. I'm surprised with how much the planet jerks off to cars that there arent a million websites with compatibility lists already.

I don't like the oem tpms sensors because the light comes on when my wheels are 1psi lower then spec. That's why I like the aftermarket unit which include the display for each wheel.

Nope, we should have it calibrated when installing it!
@@FitmentIndustriesI bought the wheel and tire package for my 2013 Civic SI and the TPMS sensors have been fine for about 2 weeks and then all the sudden the warning light is going off and my PSI in the tires is at 32 on an 18 wheel. Why is the check TPMS light on if they're calibrated for my car from you guys?
When going with non-stock spec wheels and tires, what PSI do you run? Stick with OEM PSI or is there a calculation?
It all depends on the size of the tire and stretch it would have.
The calculation is based off of the base pressure the sensors are set at. Which is what the door placard says. So if you have aftermarket wheels and different size tires, the pressure still should be set to what the door says.
I got my aftermarket wheels with new tpms sensors, my tire pressure light came on after about a week, now I have the check engine light on as well. I just got the new tpms sensors registered to my car, will the check engine light go off now that the car can recognize the new sensors?
I just used my stock ones and it worked fine
it doesn't always happen, but we mentioned it just in case 🖤
If I get new tires & wheels, but want to use my old TPMS sensors, should I order my tires mounted or dismounted?
I mean if you can afford for the shop fee then dismounted! If not I would choose to order a new one through one our cart process!

Are the wheel sensors proprietary? (unique to each manufacturer?)
Are the signals sent from the sensor to the vehicle's receiver different from make to make?

If it’s an option on your car wouldn’t be a bad thing! -Edgar
What TMPS sensors are recommended for 3 piece wheels? And is there a different type I need to use for wider wheels like 9.5” and 10.5”?
We believe it's all relatively all the same
That photo of the Importfest rc350 on the thumbnail tho
What tpms sensors do you use? Blank programmable, pre programmed Or multi protocol type?
Hello, wondering if I'm replacing oem wheels with oem wheels if I can reuse/swap the tpms
Are some wheels that you could run the tpms and is there some that you can't what options do you recommend. On a aftermarket wheels😏😏😏
Love the Tesla clip!
❤️
It was a no brainier when I recently bought my 20x8.5 Konig Oversteer wheels I bought New TPMS Sensors for 100bucks since my OEM ones in the Car just turn 5 and that's how long TPMS batteries tend to last
Lol yeah time to get new ones! 😂
I bought a used Tesla Model S recently and the TPMS were lit up - So I scheduled my service appointment and Tesla charged me $500 to replace them saying that whoever bought the most recent tires didn't buy compatible sensors. So now I want to make sure I understand what sensors I have now so I know what tires are even in the pool of compatible for the next time I need to buy tires. I'm surprised with how much the planet jerks off to cars that there arent a million websites with compatibility lists already.
How many TPM S sensors can I add and/or pair to my car what if I want a TPM S sensor on my spare tire full size spare?
Title: Everything you need to know about TPMS
5:44: So, the point of this video was not necessarily to ... talk to you in detail about how TPMS works
??
You forgot to mention that some cars do not allow traction control to be turned off when the light is on.
Mikey Ngo yup my 2013 Civic Si does this when the tpms light is on
Does hondata give the option of turning off tpms...
biopqq I believe so I'm not 100% so nice I don't have it but you can turn the check engine light off with it. So I'm assuming you can
Mrs Magik thank you
biopqq you got a Si as well?
Drift Dialects. Thank you.
Mine worked with my oem tpms
It doesn't happen all the time, but that's good to hear!
What is indirect tpms and what cars have them?
Thanks!
I don't like the oem tpms sensors because the light comes on when my wheels are 1psi lower then spec. That's why I like the aftermarket unit which include the display for each wheel.
I have it on my Chrysler 300c how do i remove it from there??
Where is the link for the specific TPMS for specific models ?
I watched your vids for 2 years before i decided to buy wheels from you guys and when i did, the tpms sensors didn’t fully seal and were leaking. I emailed you guys and you guys have the audacity to ask me if pepboys gave me a written statement lol who the fuck
I got the wrong ones the first time so now I have to get 4 more Fi help ?
Did you get them through us?
No that’s probably why I didn’t have the right 1’s
Does FI sell TPMS with their wheels and tires?
We do! It should be an option on your add to cart when you're checking out. -Edgar
Tyre pressure monitor sensor or tyre pressure monitor system Most manufacturers call it a system rather than sensor
carmichael you think I can put my factory tpms to my aftermarket wheels and tires? Cus fitments asking for about $170 for a new set of tpms lol reason why im here haha
Can you reset the sensor even without it mounted?
Okay biggie smalls beat in the back 💯🔥
The previous owner put tape over the check engine light and I just never took it off, so it doesnt count.
lol you don’t need tmps, just as long as you check your tire pressure everyday haha
everyday? lol i check once a week if i can remember
Average Joe lol i say it but i’m guilty i don’t check it til i hear a flat haha
who the fuck checks pressure everyday.
people on stretch lol
You might not need TMPS but you should probably have TPMS
Vossen wheels? How about them?
What do you mean?
Fitment Industries Talk about dem :)
My 2007 S2000 doesn't have them thankfully
lol right when i was buying tpms sensors for my new wheels
As if it were meant to be 🖤🖤🖤
oh my gosh the intro zoom into Alex's facial hair xD if only it was in 4K, xD
The new intern likes to play with the editing lol
Can't stop thinking about the fact that there is a sign behind you that says toes. 🦶
I don't even have a TPMS on my 18 STI but 17 Impreza has one, like WTF Subaru
They do silly things sometimes.
the moral of the story, pimp some old clapped out car to avoid the hassle
Lot of talking. No information. Nice production, though. 🤷🏻♂️🤙🏻
4:08 I mean its not that annoying, it becomes kind of a norm with my car... take a guess.
My light stays on, don't have em anymore.
What wheels are those on a Lexus @5:54?
Velgen VMB7's
How can I buy some tpms from you
Hey man shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we will get that taken care of for you! 👍
Everything you need to know about tpms....They're annoying. That is all!
A lot of things in life are annoying..
LAST ONE [1] MINUTE HAS VALUE, NOTHING MORE.
no time for TPMS, busy crashing my lambo.
Useless shit that makes changing a tire more of a pain in the ass :)
You're not wrong...
dude we get it TPMS are not selling well hahahahah
We get asked all the time! We needed to make a video on it!
why did you guys put "Browse wheel & tire setups here" twice in the description? LOL clicked on it lowkey to see if it was a bonus link... wasnt
We'll fix it, thanks for letting us know ♥️
I have my 2016 Honda civic and I have my oem ones and I'm fine...so does the rest of my team
Yeah, it doesn't always apply to everyone, just something we'd bring up just in case you're in this scenario
Yeah, but wait a minute
What happened to your subscribers...?
We keep gaining subscribers! 🎉
welll that’s a lie i’ve never encountered problems with switching tpms from OE to aftermarket
It won't apply to all situations, just something to take note of.
Luckily i only like to buy and modify cars up to 2005 haha
5:12 u had to do it huh :(
We just looked up car crashing into a dealership 😞
NONONO WE CARE WE JUST GET IT FROM AMAZON THE PRICE IS NICER THATS ALL
Man, why would anyone spend their precious time on Earth listening to a guy explaining what the acronym TPMS means? I just want to know how to buy them and prepare them for installation! Adios and good luck with learning more about the history of the TPMS acronym...
never explained it
Fuck TPMS sensors don't need em boys
What a load of twaddle !
You talk too much. Get to the point.
sorry dad
Like your humor. See? Like that.
