I have a 2010 MC on order, with 15" wheels and performance tires. I have a set of first generation MINI OEM R81 holies that I wanted to mount snow tires on. I know they'll fit on the car, but I just started wondering, will they be compatible with the TPMS sensors?

And what's a reasonable price for a new set of TPMS sensors? Bavarian Auto is selling a complete set of the sensors and valves for $334. The markup must be incredible.

 

this price maybe just good enough....

TireRack sells TPMS sensors for about $200. Alex is their rep here on NAM. He can get you squared away.

 

Ah, yes, I just found them in Tirerack. Although there was no direct link to them... the only way I've been able to add them so far is to add a tire/wheel package, then add the sensors it recommends, and then remove the package and add the wheels I want. Strange.

Any comments on whether the sensors will work with the MINI R81 wheels?

 

As I mentioned, talk to Alex. He's the TireRack rep here. He'll get you hooked up with what you need.

 

did the TPMS work on the holies with your 2010 MC?

 

Just remember...TPMS sensors are completely different for 2010 models. 2007-2009 sensors will NOT work. I already learned that.

 

TR has the right ones for '10.. just bought my LM's from TR with them installed, working perfectly.
