Fixing a flat tire with an air pressure monitoring system is the exact same as fixing a tire without the system. Run flat tires may need special attention. The air pressure monitor sensor is attached to the back side of the valve stem. It simply unscrews off and screws back on. The only problem is when the crush washer bends and the gaskets gets damaged and may need to be replaced. The sensor can be used over and over again and will reset itself after tire inflation and driving. Radshop

 

Just make sure that the technician is trained in removing and installing tires with tpms sensors so they don't run the tire machine into the sensor damaging it. They cost about 50 dollars each new. Radshop

 

At least you guys in the C's get donut spares. All we get in the SRT-8's is a can of fix-a-flat and air pump. Using the fix-a-flat ruins the TPMS in the wheel you use it in and requires you to buy another one at $42 a pop. I've had 2 tires repaired so far, but was fortunate that the leaks were slow enough that I could get to the tire shop for repair before having to use that crap.

 

Got it taken car of today. Total cost, $16.34. Not bad at all.

Glad the donut is in the trunk again. Couldn't help feeling like a dork driving around with that eyesore on the rear. It's also extremely noisy and rough riding (something I like at other times) so I'm glad it's done. I haven't had a flat in so many years I almost forgot what a hassle it is.
