General TPMS sensor question
General TPMS sensor question I recently bought a set of wheels and tires (off a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited) for my 08 Grand Cherokeefor a good price. I feel like I got a good deal because the TPMS sensors were removed. Is there a way I can tell, visually, if the TPMS sensors are still installed?

No you can't tell unless you pop the bead on the tires. All the newer cars some with the rubber type tpms sensors but you can't see the sensor bolted to the stem in the tire with out removal sorry

Not really. If your already putting new wheels and tires on your brand new vehicle why waste a few hundred $$$ on perfectly reusable parts.
In my 10+ years at a very high volume tire shop, I have never installed new wheels, tires and all new tpms on a new vehicle.
