Good price and reliable tpms!!

[bbwannabe]

Yup, I think not bad price. I am game... Just a few questions,

1. If the sensor gets stolen, then how much to purchase one sensor?

2. Need to do wheel balance again? Heavy looking sensors.

3. Battery life for the sensors & the main unit?

4. Cost to replace battery for sensors and the main unit (unless it is hardwired...)

Have you scout around? How much is this thing going at normally?

(I am going to call Hurry Tires and see how much they charging. Haha...)

[Dave Jr]

Hi mate here u go..

1) sensors won't get stolen as it's between the tyre and the rim

2) Yes, I've hooked up with a tyre shop to do the installation + balancing.. Pls read POST #1

3) claimed to be 7yrs battery life for display unit..

4) sensors and all can be changed easily (I'm able to get it for u) below $50..

RRP: $260

Side note : Where do you guys intend to mount the monitor? This device is either hardwired or plug into ciggy.

Noob question, do we need to go back to installer everytime we change tyre?

Thanks.

[bbwannabe]

Okies, I am in.

Sorry I missed the balancing part in post #1, only saw the installation.

[Dave Jr]

No.. It's a simple job.. I'm sure almost all the tyre shop knows how to fit it..

Even for rotation, there's no need to take the sensor out..

[bbwannabe]

And yah just in case you guys are curious, I called Hurry Tires.

They are quoting $270 with install + balancing. They were nice enough to entertain me about a competing group buy price. Should be able to report back by Friday.

In any case, I think this is deal is great.

[mercbumpkin]

There is Soh tyres as well

[kepiting1sg]

I had them in my Q5 and later transferred into my A4.

Got them installed by Coco Motor World - Zane.

#03-17 Sin Min Autocare.

IIRC All in include installation & tyre balancing about $250

IMHO

Pressure readouts may not be exactly what U measured with an accurate tyre pressure gauge. Usually abt 2 psi out consistently.

Nice to have readouts of your individual tyre pressure & temp reading display but pain in the a*** if 1 of the readings dun startup.

When U rotate tyres IIRC there's a sequence to follow. Dun forget the readouts have Front L/R & Rear L/R.

Sometime resetting can be an a*** if your tyre shop doesn't understand the system.

Dun forget balancing & installation is $$$ and can be not a walk in the park in installation.

Have fun! An interesting toy though!

Hey mate, thanks for the input.. it's stated in the web that reading can be off by 1-2 psi.. rotation of tires are simple, use mode 5 instead of the rest which i think what you're doing with it now.. no need to worry about rotation of tires as the sensors will automatically fit the FR, RR, RL & FL by themselves when doing rotation with 1 easy step..

I've got a few friends using it on Sepang and few on it for normal daily driving and they're happy with it tht's why i'm looking to get a set for myself as well!!

Cheers..

[kepiting1sg]

IMHO $220 is a good price especially by a tyre shop who know how to instal.

Best dun C & C unless the buyer knows where to instal it.

Pressure is consistently out so u can mentally knows what're the actual readouts.

[s7000]

I am interested, 1 unit.

Thanks

[Dave Jr]

updated list!!

[Dave Jr]

hey guys.. spoke to the distributor already.. as i've got other quantities coming from other forums, he's allowing me for SGMerc ONLY..

C&C @ $180!!

VALID TILL GROUP BUY CLOSES ON THE 15th MAY!!

Have used this on my Golf GTI. Pretty good but be prepared for many counter weights on your rims for a balanced tyre as the sensor is mounted on the inside of the valve. IMO, the weights spoil the looks of the rims.

[Dave Jr]

all the GB members has collected the products.. anyone who still wants it within the GB period just drop me a PM..

Alternative is to hammer in clip type of counter weight.

[Toycarz]

Count me in. PM u my mobile.

[Dave Jr]

[stqy]
