TPMS Sensor

Anyone know if its possible for the TPMS sensor to be damaged when changing your tires? I believe the sensor is part of the stem assembly correct? Thanks!

So i am planning on getting new rims. Specifically the Varianza T1S's... What exactly do i have to do regarding the TPMS sensors. Do i switch the ones out of the old tires and into the new or how does it work??

thanks

Just let the person handling your wheels/tires that you have a TPMS on the wheel. It's specifically behind the valve stem (you are correct).

italiandud,
If your wheels are TPMS compatible then all you have to do is swap them into the new wheels.
