hmm interesting , i think i am going to buy the strap version. I had the regular 90 degree version and the guy putting on my rims snapped a couple of them, saying they were fragile. I believe him since a year ago i hit a pot hole and it broke one of the adaptors on the sensors as well. I could hear the rattling on the sensor bouncing around in the tire.

It looks like these are flexible and can withstand the bumps and bruises of daily driving. I am going to order these right now. Thanks! i honestly didn't know these existed.

I had the straps on the wheels I had on my G35 coupe before I traded it in on the Lexus. Had them on for a couple of days and one came loose and rattled around in the wheel. Took it to Discount Tire and had them redo it. Didn't have any problems for around two years before I traded in the car. I would use them again if I needed.

I used them on my ssr and had no issues as long as they are installed correctly I got mine from discount tire. Let me know if you need anything else.

Do all discount tire centers carry them? I've called a few around my area and they don't carry them.
