lots of people complain (or is it worry) about valve extensions, i guess if theyre not anchored they could some loose & leak down, don't know how that could be - as I've never had a TPMS sensor on any of my 10 tires ever come loose.


on my inside duels i can reach my valve stem / TPMS sensors by reaching in between the tires/wheels...not necessarily the easiest (or potentially cleanest) task but again i usually only have to do it once a year...and when i do it i change the sensor battery (prematurely) at the same time.

Like Bob (above) i have TPMS sensors (our TST system also measures Temperature as well as pressure) - the only time i remove the valve stem based sensor (maybe once a year when the temperature drops) is when the monitor reports a tire needs air.
