Replacing Front Wheel RDC Sensor

[Grumpy Goat]

Car TPMs last longer. Deb's car is 14 years old with 65,000 miles and so far we have only changed one TPM. I was surprised the car TPM was slightly smaller than the bike TPM.
I was not surprised the Chevy TPM was a lot cheaper than the BMW TPM
My previous Equinox did not need any TPMs in 10 years and around 65,000 miles.

My 2010 GMC Sierra truck with 98k miles has had 2 sensors replaced so far and another one is apparently "iffy" (showed one warning on the dash so far). The guy at Discount Tire was trying to sell me a set of 4 for the price of 3 (each one is $65) since (according to him) if I replaced one at a time the others would soon follow. I declined.

One the RS, I like the fact that it is always on when the bike is on, and gives warning when there is the start of a puncture - gives you the chance to get to the side of the road and inspect. It is also internal and does not impede tire inflation.

I have an excellent and more cost-effective screw-on FOBO TPMS on the Tracer which is just as good [i]except[/i] you have to remember to turn on the app in order to get any warnings. Inflating the tire is also more cumbersone as you have to take the sensor off with a special wrench (security measure). Aside from that it also enables me to check the pressure via Bluetooth at any time as long as I am within range. Naturally the bike does not have to be on.
