Every time I've had new tires put on other cars, they have insisted on replacing the valves, for a couple bucks apiece. Since the valve is incorporated into the TPMS on our IS, do we just reuse the same valve/TPMS when getting new tires? Pretty expensive to replace, I would imagine. Or, is the valve separable from the TPMS part?

are the extra sensors or his old ones put into new wheels? you might have to put them up to 50PSI and then put it back down to whatever setting you want to initialized them...thats what the Lexus Tech told me.
might also have to initialize the pressure you want on the side button on the dash.

Alright, maybe you guys can answer my question because i keep getting the "it can't be done" BS.
I own a 1st gen is300, and have put is350 rims on my car. the previous owner would like the TPMS sensors back if possible to put in his aftermarket works. if i can find a ghetto shop who will take these out, can i replace them with non TPMS valve stems? I'm not sure how they would fit being that the TPMS valve stems look considerably larger than standard stems.
Thanks for your help guys!

i wonder if they have batteries in them. the whole TPMS system amazes me.
