    That's Cool...

    Perhaps the Costco Tire Employee I talked to doesn't know this, or maybe just not at our Costco Location. I'll try calling out there again.
    Thank you for this info..

    Most likely they don’t want to program the ecu for your supplied sensors. They sell virtually the same sensors for a reasonable price with tires but probably want $60 a wheel to install theirs without a tire purchase.

    A small roadside shop run by hardworking 2nd generation immigrants is a better idea.

    They did say they could sell me the sensors and I believe it was $60 per wheel, tho when I looked for new TPMS's online I questioned if that was $60/wheel, or if I mis-understood and it was $60 for a set of 4.. after seeing your note, I think I was probably correct in that he said $60 per wheel.

    HA!! I tend to agree/believe this this is (sadly) likely true.. I bought tires for a 40' motor coach while out in Las Vegas and I watched them change those by hand.. those guys are pretty darn good and work hard.. the one told me he's been doing it since he was a little kid.
