Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are becoming increasingly common on new vehicles. Underinflated tires can be dangerous, especially when driving at high speeds with heavy loads in hot weather. A blowout is a real risk in these conditions. Regular tire pressure checks are essential, but many drivers neglect this important task. That's where TPMS systems come in. Bob’s Tire is committed to your safety with our TPMS services.

Valve Core Replacement

While some competitors may use standard brass valve cores in your aluminum tire pressure sensor valve stems, this can lead to galvanic corrosion and the brass valve core may eventually seize in the valve's aluminum barrel. To prevent corrosion, Bob’s Tire only installs special nickel-plated valve cores (shown right) in aluminum tire pressure sensor valve stems (See store for details). 

Rebuild Kit

Manufacturers recommend a TPMS rebuild kit at certain intervals throughout the vehicle's life. Each rebuild kit includes a new rubber grommet, aluminum retaining nut, special nickel-plated valve core, and OE valve cap. Attempting to reuse the original rubber grommet, valve core, and retaining nut may result in an air leak (Additional charges apply, see store for details on your specific vehicle). 

Torque Check

Bob’s Tire torques each component of your TPMS system to the OE manufacturer specifications using only precision tools specifically designed for installing TPMS sensor nuts and valve cores. 

Sensor Reset

In the past, the only way to register/activate a new TPMS sensor was a trip to the dealer. Times have changed! And now every

Bob’s Tire is equipped with the latest TPMS scan tool technology. For most vehicles, Bob’s Tire can reprogram your TPMS, eliminating the need for a costly trip to the car dealer.
