Default Cloning TPMS sensor for summer rims? Any sensors will work?

Hello all,

Newbie question, I want to put TPMS sensors for my summer rims and I want to clone the existing stock TPMS sensors that I have on my stock. Is there a specific TPMS sensor that I need for cloning or any one can work? Thanks.

P.S. I am doing this so I can swap my summer and stock rims without having to re-program the sensors every time.

I'm not sure if any sensor will work, but one popular brand is EZ Sensor...that will work.

I have autel sensors in my winters. They don't show pressures but the light stays off and the computer can see the pressures. So if it actually goes lower than 30psi light will still come on.

i believe ez sensor does the same thing

For $150 you can get the Ateq sensor tool. I have this and once the values are inputted into your computer it takes 1 min to switch over from winter to summer. It plugs into your OBD port

Bring it to any tire shop and they will do that for you. That's what i did, and then i sold my oem wheels and then copied the copies... i'm not sure the brand but i'm sure the tire shop will figure it out.
