East bay tpms cloning
Anyone know if Americas tire in concord can clone tpms sensors?
I need to buy some, have them installed and cloned for my new set of kicks!

did you already buy clonable sensors?
if not, i used schrader 28203 sensors for my new set of wheels/tires for my 2012. you don't need to clone your OEM sensor ID's, just buy new sensors for the new wheels and have americas tires program the new ID's to your car.
the price fluctuates. i got mine for $32 each, but around $40 each seems a normal price
then take your new wheels with the new sensors to americas tires and they'll reprogram your ECU for the new TPMS ID's for free and only takes a few minutes
they are the same as OEM
amazon review confirms working in your year

I haven't found a place to reprogram TPMS sensors to my car. TPMS sensors came off a STi with only 2k miles. Dealer wants $100 and for me to leave my car with them...i don't like.
do all american tire location do this? Im in the south bay and got new kicks too...im almost considering not using TPMS on my new wheels, if it would require me to flash everytime i swap between winter/summer setups...

I'm feeling lucky. The owner of Americas tire is here doing a site inspection while my car is being done.
They are scraping the corrosion off the faces of my rotors where the wheels mount. Cleaning everything all nice...offering me water.

Which location are you at Walnut Creek or Concord.. The only reason i am really scared to even take my wheels there is because they are more concaved and I dont want them damaged? But thats really nice that they are doing that for you!

Ha! I'll be shocked. I've had this place do multiple wheels/tires...37's on 20's, 225's on 15's, race rubber, street rubber, high mileage tires...I've always been happy with them.

sounds good! im just scared because a friend of mine had his wheels that were powder coated get messed up at the walnut creek location but thank you!
Talk to them first. I got cloneable sensors in my winter wheels at AT in Mt. View and it took four (count 'em) trips for them to get the sensors programmed correctly. Turned out they really weren't properly trained on what the sensors did (claimed they only matched frequency, not ID) or how to program them.
