  Unfortunately, I do. And they lock you in to licensed vendors just for your seasonal tyre change.

  Looks like my next car is going to be an antique.

    Wonder what kind of car you have, because my last 2 cars had a procedure to train/program a new TPMS, and some cars (according to Google) will automatically learn new sensors after about 20 minutes of driving.

        Brutal. I guess you can always swap the tires yourself and then stop by a tire shop and ask them to reprogram it. I feel for you.
