Putting new tires on my '08 yaris soon... what do I need to know?

Are you going to replace the TPMS valves?

I looked into the lifespan of these things and depending on cycles and weather people say they last 7-10 years. I just had the tire guys put my new tires on the original wheels with the original TPMS valves.

I brought this up on here and got some advice on whether or not to replace them.

There is a TPMS valve rebuild kit, that should be done to prevent leaks after a few years.

also keep in mind that the life spend of a TPMS is about 4 to 5 yrs give or take...always a good idea to get valve kit also clean rims of from any corrosion a good shop would do that and use rim sealer all this will help with air staying in ur tire . Nitrogen helps too , keeps the tires from psi fluctuation and over all longer lasting tires...yes it does work .

TY for letting me know about the nitrogen keeping the tires from fluctuating. I didn't know that and that's the reason I hate the first cold day of Fall and if my tires are right on the borderline, that stupid TPMS light comes on.
