TPMS

Does anyone know if Candian cars use these sensors. I was reading another thread they were saying if you just have plain rubber valve stem you dont have them. My rims just have plain rubber ones. Any thoughts

Believe you have it; CDN cars read off ABS sensor ring. USA cars read off sensors integated with tire valve.

That is correct, you don't have sensors.

You are correct, if you have plain rubber valves, you do not have TPMS mounted on your wheels.
