Re: TPMS battery life
OK. as promised, here are the results after getting new tires and sensors installed.
This information is probably of most use to Canadian members.
The first thing I checked out was Tire Rack, using the link at the top of this website and checked out pricing for Pirelli and Michelin Tires. Then I checked out a number of tire shops and the Porsche dealership.
I also tried to check pricing for TPMS sensors on http://www.titantpms.com/ but their website is not secure, so couldn't go to checkout with any of my browsers. Ended up finding the same sensors on https://www.oewheelsllc.com/
Last week, when I went to make an appointment it seemed that most shops could not get Pirellis. So I ended up going with Michelin Pilot Sports 4S. So I'll just give comparisons for those.
My tires are Front 235/35/ ZR20 and Rear 265/35/ ZR20
Tire Rack
Front $359 each, Rear $418 each = $1554 + $524 shipping, import, taxes = $2078 USD with exchange rate = $2760 CDN
+sensors through OEWheels about $320 CDN with shipping, import duties and exchange rate
Total $3080 CDN.
and would still have to have pay to have them mounted and balanced as Tire Rack does not have any recommended installers in Canadian
Porsche Dealer Canadian dollars
Front $489 each, Rear $569 each, install 4 tires $259 = $2375 + tax $308+ = $2683 CDN
+ sensors $250 each includes installation = $1130 including tax
Total $3698 $3813 CDN (They did say that they would install sensors that I supplied, but there would not be any guarantee if there was a problem with the sensors)
Braidan Tire advertises in Provinz - UCR PCA club magazine.
Front $534, Rear $603 = $2274 (includes installation) + tax $296 = 2570 + OE HUF sensors $100 each includes installation = $452 including tax
Total = $3022 CDN
Currently there's also a $70 rebate from Michelin Canada when you buy a set of 4 tires
Total = $2952 CDN
This is the option I went with. They also have a lot of Porsche experience.
