Okay, I guess part 2 is: Let's say I buy the tires + wheels with the sensors...
Do I need to go to VW to get them put on (because of the sensors), or can I go to any place? I know tirerack has a list of places they approve or whatever.
They can be put on before the tire is mounted to the wheel- Tirerack can do it for you.
The TPMS needs no further programming with new sensors.
I have the 17" wheels factory and I'm thinking about getting 18" or 19" in the spring. I know that I want to spend the extra $$$ and get the TPMS installed in my new tires.
2 Questions:
1 Does sizing up the wheels change the specs of the pressure, thus setting off the TPMS warning light in the car?
2 On Tire Rack they were like $250 (cant remember if that was a piece or not). Is there anywhere to buy them cheaper?
What happened to the old fashion idea of modding a car it was so simple to do things like...swap out bigger rims, change the radio head unit, change speakers etc...why the F#@k does VW need to make things such a challange?!?!?!?!?!?! :-\
