Hafocus Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi, I have a 2016 Ford Focus. I have seen several references that say the tpms system will not work if a tyre is changed. If I get a puncture and decide to get my tyre (just the rubber bit, not the metal wheel) changed for a part worn tyre, will this cause tpms issues? Is there a certain brand of tyre that I need to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColW Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi, No the tpms part is behind the valve on the wheel. I have had a few tyres changed on mine. There have been reports of some tyre places damaging the tpms part while changing the tyre but I've not had a problem at my local tyre fitters.

TomsFocus Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Places fitting part worns are likely to not be overly careful and end up damaging the sensor. A tyre change in itself isn't an issue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
