TPMS weight?

betz44 · 04-08-2011, 07:31 PM

Anyone have any idea how much a TPMS sensor weights (on post 2009 BMWs)? I got new rims and tires without a TPMS sensor and had them balanced. Just added TPMS sensors to the tires from my OEM's, and now notice a small shudder at high speeds. Want to try and get a tape weight to rebalance. Thanks!

Sounds like you just have an out of balance wheel/tire package. I would bring it back to the shop and have it rebalanced. Does the shop have a Road Force machine?

Grab yourself four 1 ounce stick on weights and stick it on the opposite side of the TPMS then bam, you gots no shudder.

Why didn't you get them rebalanced when you placed the sensors on?
