I think it is part of the vavle stem, so you would have to get new ones, or transfer the old ones. Then when you get them back on the vehicle reset the system.

I just got new wheels and had to do new sensors. I paid $35 per wheel which included having them programmed. They had to use my old sensors to get the code off of them.

you had the falkens or are getting the falkens. I currently have them and they are the worst tire I've ever had in my life. Ready to blow at 13k miles, worst traction i've ever had.

Deffinatly not the falkens lol. I only got them cause my tire was about to blow and it was the only tire that the only shop opened had available and I needed to get home from a long trip. They are probably the worst tire on the market lol. They weren't even that cheap either. Winter traction blows, wet traction not very good, dry traction only decent. Tread Ware basically non existant. I'm going to be buying the stock potenzas when I buy again. My rears have 42k miles on them and still have tread left, never rotated considering they are unidirectional. They have awesome traction even at the millage they are at. Fronts went out at about 32k miles only because of a bad allignment that ate the sidewall away or else I'd still have them on. (Just because we can't rotate does not mean we should never get our alignment checked lol, lessen learned)

Anyway most people on here like Eagle Gts, and Potenzas and a few others I can't remember their names. Paying the extra for the tire is totally worth it, you may save 200 bucks now buy getting a cheaper tire however youll eat through them 3x faster than a more expensive tire.

still have my rears on at 43k....I still have the original rears on at 80K. I heard of someone hitting 100k with the originals. Theyre expensive but definately worth it.

I drive to much in the winter and couldn't keep mine. They were the summer version and were not good in the snow.
