I can... all I have right now is the spare tire scissor jack so it would take some time. And I want to be positive they are balanced properly, lugs are properly torqued, and air pressure is perfect too. To ensure all that for $60 from my local shop is worth it to me......... and not to mention the time savings too LOL

Yeah. Cheaper cause there's no mounting to be done (tires are already on the wheels). This shop actually offers $69.99 for a full M&B, but since I'm not doing any mounting they said they'd do it for $60. Might try and talk them down a little more than $10 off a full M&B, but $60 is such a good price I might just let it go...

OP - It's important to know that if you store the tires you removed with sensors installed, too close (within approx. 10-15') to where you park the truck at night your truck may try and read them giving you some false readings each morning until you've driven away and they are no longer interfering. If anyone runs into this now you know why.

My set of tires get stacked in my shed 5 feet from my truck and I never have any problems. I've also driven with my other set in the bed and there was no confusion by the system for the same reason as the ones in the shed : The sensors are off. This is also why a spare tire sensors will never be picked up unless you start doing some really fast donuts lol
