Question, can I use my current TPMS and just put them on my winter wheels? My understanding is that they TPMS are in the valve caps and I just unscrew and put them on the winter wheels?
These are new to me used to have an E39 and no sensors.
Not sure mate, thinking the valves are non-transferable unless an adapter is installed on other sets... Just change the tyres on the existing rims to continue using the TPMS (I think) !
Heads-up... If you experience heavy snow then you might want to lose some air from the tyres for more traction, this will trigger the tyre pressure module so I wouldn't bother messing around TBH.
