My 1990 Coupe needs new tires re dry cracks from lack of use. My tire dealer is concerned that the tire pressure sensors may be damaged during the dismounting of the old tires and he doesn't want to be responsible if they don't function properly after the new tires are mounted.
My questions are:
Should the dismounting/mounting procedure effect the pressure bands within the tires? If the low tire pressure light is activated after tire mounting, is there any way to disconnect it so I don't have to see it illuminated on my dash?
How much do new sensors cost? I've been told they are in the $175 range and I really don't want to be buying four of those along with four tires.
My coupe is in good shape but I really don't drive it much more than a thousand or so miles a year. Currently it has 77K on the odometer. The tire pressure sensors are not that important to me that I want to spend the additional funds to make them function in the future if the original ones should fail.
Thanks in advance for your technical help regarding this matter.
