Re: [MBZ] 2011 Mercedes C300 4Matic Sport - Tire Sensor Replacement Question

 I went to Sams Club to verify my tires were there and confirm an installation 
appointment for next week.  They said they will check the sensors when they 
install the tires.  They have Schrader EZ Go Sensors (Generic-$40each)) that 
will fit my car if needed.  They will not install customer provided sensors.
Thanks,Bob

Assuming the tire guys can program the Schrader universal sensors,

 Mike,
  The price including installation and New York tax is $845.43.  I have to take 
it to an alignment shop which costs $99.00.  The front and rear are different 
sizes...Front: 225/45R17 & Rear: 245/40R17.
Annoying because they can't be rotated.
Bob

Re: [MBZ] 2011 Mercedes C300 4Matic Sport - Tire Sensor Replacement Question

2023-07-19 Thread Allan Streib via Mercedes
When I replaced them in my Volvo I ordered VDO sensors from RockAuto. Got them 
on a closeout so don't know how long they had been on the shelf but so far so 
good. My tire shop was willing to install "customer provided parts", but you 
might want to check with Sam's.

When they fail, you get annoying false alarms about tire pressure, and the best 
time to change them is when you're getting new tires anyway.

[MBZ] 2011 Mercedes C300 4Matic Sport - Tire Sensor Replacement Question

2023-07-19 Thread Robert Koziak via Mercedes
 Hi all,
     After much research I decided to install 4 Continental Extreme Contact DWS 
06 Plus tires on my daughter's 2011 Mercedes C300 Sport w/100K.  The tires are 
on order with my local Sam's Club and I will be getting them installed next 
week.  
     Do you think in addition to a wheel alignment I should consider replacing 
the "Tire Pressure Sensors" at the same time?  I read that they have batteries 
with a finite life.
     If so I would appreciate suggestions for a brand, part number, source etc. 
 I see there are different brands and the prices vary greatly.  
Thanks!
Bob K
