I went this weekend to get some quotes for winter tires and rims and was told by three tire dealers that they will NOT sell or install winter wheels and tires for me without the TPMS sensor. They stated that they are liable if they knowingly disable a cars safety features and thus must put the sensors into each wheel. Has anyone else run into this? Any work arounds anybody can suggest? I am in BC, Canada by the way.
Easy, just don't take your car in...
