Aftermarket TPMS

[Uzurk]

Hello!

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but after some searching I haven't seen anyone confirm/deny this.

If I get wheels with aftermarket TPMS, will swapping the wheels from my summer setup to winter set up be a pain in the ass? Will I need to have them reprogrammed every time? Or once the aftermarket ones are synced, it will be as if they are OEM (freely swappable and will auto sync after a few miles of driving).

I ordered some wheels from Fitment Industries and they giving me the hard sell on aftermarket TPMS (they would come preinstalled and the tires would come mounted and balanced). They are a little more than OEM ones, but it would save me the hassle/money of needing to have a tire shop install OEM ones if I went that route. I just don't want the aftermarket ones to cause me trouble and then me needing to get OEM ones anyway.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Programming sensors is old tech - the new ones auto detect, slap on the new boots and drive - they should be "programmed" in a few minutes
you can also find genuine KIA TPMS on ebay for cheap - someone posted the link, but you will have to hunt for it

Ah, thank you. Yeah, I know I can find some OEM ones, but the thing I am trying to avoid is needing to have the tired unmounted and then remounted to installed the OEM ones when the place I am buying them from will just install aftermarket ones before they ship.

But it sounds like I should be fine, the aftermarket ones will just auto sync after a few miles.
