Buying new tires with TPMS?

Need to buy new tires for my Honda Odyssey, which has the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).



I remember an oil change at discount place (Walmart I think) where they wouldn't do tire rotation because of the TPMS.



When buying new tires, am I stuck getting them installed by the dealer, or will a discount tire place like Big O, Mr Tire, Sears, Sam's, Costo, Walmart, someplace like that also be able to install?Buying new tires with TPMS?
a good tire shop should be able to handle it with out a problem. talk to the foreman first and get a feel for him if he is not confident, then go some where else. honda is not the only place that can do a simple tire change. the only difference is a single sensor at every valve stem.
Call Firestone Auto Service and see what they can do for you. I have had very bad service at Sears, so I cannot recommend them. The service manager at Big O should know what to do, like any large tire service chain. But, you will get the most dependable information from Honda Service. To cover all bases, look in your owner's manual. There should be a statement about tire rotation and what Honda recommends, or requires, or warns against in your owner's manual.Buying new tires with TPMS?
TPMS complicates life for the tire tech, but you can still rotate them. I know I have TPMS and I have gotten my tires rotated. You don't need to go to the dealer for tires; just make sure your tire dealer understands what TPMS is. Most dealers have seen plenty of TPMS, so that shouldn't be an issue.



Wal-Mart actually requires its tire techs to be TPMS certified, so I don't know what tire tech was blowing smoke.



Also just for knowledge, I read the tire reviews at Tire Rack http://www.tirerack.com/tires/reviews/Me鈥?/a> Tire Racks sell tires, obviously, but I have never purchased from them. I just ask that you please buy the best tires you can afford.
Any tire shop will be able to do your tires, but I recommend using one that is reputable; it is easy to damage the sensors, and you need to use a shop that knows what they are doing. When rotating tires with TPMS you need to reset the system so it can tell you where the problem lies when one is low on air, and many places don't want to fool with it.Buying new tires with TPMS?
A good and profesional tire shop will be able to install new tires on your Honda without problems. If your TPMS is working properly, that is the way it should be after the tire replacement.
