TPMS sensor from IG are over $1500?????

[MileHigh]

Got some spare steelies, and I asked the dealer for TPMS sensors. They told me $1546… $285.84 each.

That should be $285 for a set of four, correct?

Otherwise I can understand all the threads on alternatives. That’s more expensive than most steel rims.

No, could Not be, in Germany 4 Steel Wheel inkl. General Grabber AT3 inclusive TPMS 1600€ / 4 Wheel. TPMS Universal Typ ~ 25€/pcs. but your tire dealer has to clone the TPMS Sensor, otherwise the Grenny didn‘t know them.

This was the dealer price. Is there something special about the IG valve stem that makes them that expensive, or is this just IG tax? I understand why people are looking at $250 TPMS programmers.

I know it is a safety thing, but at $258, that’s as much as the tires..

That's crazy.

As an aside, apparently on a 26 with alloys you get a steelie spare.

There is no way

I’m starting to think it’s true, but crazy. It seems that BMW sensors are about the same price. That makes a second set of tires and rims are pretty expensive endeavor.

And we have been missing a massive amount of snow here in Colorado, so my snow tires have barely gotten wet.

I just paid for a set of BMW's for 90$ each. At the dealer.
