TPMS Sensor?
Can anyone tell me what the TPMS Sensor is? I contacted Hutchinson about their wheels and they said there was now an adapter kit.
They also informed me that Mopar now had a beadlock wheel but I have to say I like the RockMonster much better.

I would not order a rim that needs an adaptor kit to accept the sensors. I have see them leak and even drop the sensor insied the tire! If the sensor bounces around inside the tire too much it will puncture the inner liner and ruin the tire and possibly the sensor. Almost every new car has these TPM sensors now so you should be able to find a wheel that is deligned to hold them properly.

I've got the Rock Monsters and don't even worry about the TPMS light (and brightened odometer light at night) & chime. Seems it resets periodically 'cause my factory rims & tires are in the garage and my Jeep even makes it in there occasionally.
You could just make a plastic TPMS pipe bomb, to keep the sensors in just like many at Club Lexus do if it really bothers you.
Either way, it's still going to go off when you air down, which isn't a bad idea as it might remind you to air back up.

I'd like to see the adaptor they have.

Nice looking rig I love those RockMonsters.

If you make the "TPMS pipe bomb" why would airing down your tires set off the warning light?

Obviously it wouldn't, when I edited the text I meant to place the pipe bomb comment last.

But it isn't as fast to do so as my Lexus was.
