I have the TPM system and just put new snow tires and rims on my car without the TPM valve stems. Everytime i start my car is makes a "ding" sound and one of the lights is always lit up on the dash. other then that no other issues with it.
Although I have never had to change my tires yet. My mates 300c has the similar valves and he's changed his tires 4 times now and still on the original valves, just tell the tire shop to be very careful in that area and you will be fine.
P.S. tin mana If the light is constantly on you have a faulty TPMS Valve, maybe damaged by the tire shop.

They do not change the valve stem. It is a rebuild kit for the TPMS. I think I was charged about $6.00 per kit for each wheel when I bought new tires. Its only recommended to have it done when putting new tires on which for most drivers is in the 40k to 60k mile range.
Zonestar is correct when I just had my tires put on I paid for the rebuild kit as well. It will prevent the valve stems from leaking. :smileup:
ok thanks ... there not leaking so if i can save a few bucks then ill keep them on no need to change them
