Episode #85 - Honda Fit TPMS Sensors in Older Wheels

We've had a ton of questions asking if you can install tire pressure monitors from the new 2008 Fit into the 2007 HFP and stock wheels. Well, we tried it! Here are the results. More at www.collegehillshonda.com and www.diyhonda.com.

DO these sensor's come on the base models with the 14" steelies with hubcaps?

[chhonda]

@d00mofhumanity For the 2008 model, yes.

I know that the Fit HFP rims will fit on a 2010 Insight, but do you think that the Insight's TPMS will fit like 08 Fit's does in this video?

[chhonda]

@davemasterx They should but we have never tried it.

[chhonda]

@CrumBhosale It is just a matter of being careful. If you don't pay attention they are easy to break.

[CrumBhosale]

@chhonda I guess don't break the bead right at the the valve stem? I ask only cause every time I purchase tires at a tire shop my TPMS is fine before ... but they always break at least one...I guess should just verbally worn them everytime. Sometimes they cover the cost and other times they come up to me and present a broken sensor and say it was like that or it was damaged to begin with. In which case I wanna say $&%*) you. I don't want my rims fallen off so I be nice.

[chhonda]

@CrumBhosale Don't do what he did in the video.

[CrumBhosale]

@chhonda how do i make should i be carefull not to break the tpms while removing/replacing tires.
