air Pressure sensor ???

Sensor is actually two parts: valve stem and sensor. When shopping for wheels or tires, make sure the house doing the installation of the tires has valve stems in stock for the sensors. Mine didn't and had to go on a wild goose chase.
Also, make sure to let the tire tech know you have sensors in the wheels. You don't want them to old school the old stems by jerking them own to quickly deflate them; in doing so, they will ruin the sensors.
Sensor screws into the bottom of the valve stem inside the wheel after the stem is installed. Each stem comes with a new screw. It is recommended that the screw is replaced each time the stem is replaced.
Hope this helps.

I ordered new wheels and tires from Tire Rack and had them install the sensors at the warehouse. I think I paid 40 each installed. They also balanced the tires after mounting. I do understand some alloy wheels require a different (longer I would think) tire stem.

What were you charged an extra $20.00 for?
I am sure YMMV is some sort of internet abbreviation for something, but what does "That put $5/tire" mean?
Maybe once I understand YMMV I will understand the post.
Sorry to be such an internet lingo dummy, but I didn't care to take the time to read the book.
