I was told that the valve stem can't be replaced on tires for cars that have tire pressure sensors.
Why is that? What do I say to the tire shop before changing my tires?
thanks

That you will get a 2nd opinion.
What they should NOT do, is remove the pressure sensors and chuck them.

OK .. I gotta ask .. what do you have and who said that?

I don't have tires yet, but WalMart has good prices. Is WalMart a mistake for tire replacement?
My father had trouble because they did something with the valve stems or something. I didn't pay close enough attention.
Are the sensors part of the valve stems?
I guess I could look it up myself
