From what i have read here and evoxforum they are around 70 to 90 for the OEM ones, each one. Call the dealers and ask might get a better deal for all 4.

No re-calibration needed. TPMS will fit on Advans and just about any monoblock wheel. Multipiece wheels they *might* not fit on.

I just got all four tires swapped onto the factory rims with new tires. I don't think they put the same rim in the same location it was before. The Service light came on as soon as they started the car. The car has 350 miles on it. They said it should go away after a day or two.
Does this sound right to you guys?

yep-when I switch mine out-the light comes on, 20 mins or a couple miles later, it will go off. Keep in mind, all this thing does is monitor the tire pressure-back in the day, we didnt have this and had to get out and use whats called a "tire pressure gauge". I think you can still pick one up at some old parts stores.....

Thanks, its been on now for 40 miles or so. I'm just worried that the Tire people broke one of the TPMs.
