it really isnt that bad.. That "tool" comes with the vehicles that are equiped with the TPMS system, and all you do is hold it to the sensor and hit the button to calibrate it for pressure setting. You do have to recalibrate if you rotate.

mine has always read accurate when i rotate mine. if it says it is low, than that one is. dont know if they got smart enough to account for that but i do like the TPMS.

I reckon I am a little to old school for things like that. Just seems like another something to go wrong.

if your lucky, you'll get the tool with the truck...... 3 of my buddies all bought now fords and they all had to order tools from ford after rotating tires..... me I'll just stay with tires and wheels that I can mount up for myself....

This is not a big deal, I don't see what the fuss is about.

Glad I don't have TPMS. I have Manual TPMS, which is get my *** out of the truck and check it myself!
