I have a 2007 and 2008 and the TPMS have failed on both of them. I have
no
intention of getting them replaced. I think I was quoted a proce of about
$
60 to $ 80 for each wheel. That is getting close to the price of a tire.

Either tires are a LOT cheaper in the USA than in Canada (I know they
are somewhat cheaper) or you are buying crappy tires. I haven't bought
a tire for less than $118 on sale in quite a few years - and I don't
have 17 inch or larger rims or super low profile tires.


I was somewhat low on the tire prices. I put a good grade of Michelin tires
on. They are about $ 125 each. This is just a standard Toyota. Still that
$ 60 to $ 80 just for the sensor is way too high. I bet they only cost
about $ 10 or less to make. Especially in the large quantites they are mass
produced in.
The tires did come with free rotation and flat repair.
If you have to pay someone to rotate the tires two times a year, you might
say the tires are almost free after 5 or 6 years.
