Pilot super sports? Nice choice.

Weather is getting nice. Should be able to come up some weekend soon and we can do fender works. I've been talking with my wife about it. She definitely wants to spend a few days in Chicago and go to museums and stuff.

That's awesome! let me know when so i can make sure i'm off of work.
Do you know anything about TPMS? I found some cloneable ones that will fit and work, my only issue is: will i have to buy the programming tool or will a local shop have it?

That I don't know. I've seen some inexpensive tools out there. I just ran TPMS in my summers and went without in my winter setup. On my wifes car we have them in both sets, cause I don't trust her to check tire pressures, and we just bought new Honda ones and have the dealer reprogram them when needed. I think sears actually re-synced them for us when we put her winters on this year. I think the OEM ones most independent shops can do a resync. Its just the initial programming that a Honda dealer needs to do as far as I know.

Her brother works at Honda so he did it the first time for us.

Also gotta settle on which TPMS I am going to get. Any suggestions?
I found these that are cloneable, just need to call around to shops to see if they have the tool to program them because I don't want to buy a $100 programming tool for 1 use...

From what I am reading, it sounds like two different tools would be needed. One to scan the current sensors and one to program the new ones. I could be wrong...it is early and I haven't had much caffeine yet.

Followup: So, the scan tool would only be needed if you didn't have the ability to read the number off of the sensor. i.e. inside the mounted wheel/tire.

From what I remember, flashpro can read the codes. But I might be wrong. Still some research to do

Just bought the cloneable sensors from Standard along with their programming tool. We'll see how this works out!

I bought a set too, but not the tool. I was going to call around first to see if anyone could read the set I have in my winter wheels. If so, then I would buy a scanner. If not, I would just have them synced to the car.

Actually I just canceled the order on the tool because Firestone said they'd be able to read and reprogram even any sensor for only $20
