TPM Sensors and Winter Tires
For those who mount snow wheels and tires onto their cars, can you swap out the TPM sensors from your summer tires onto the snows?
Even if that is possible, it may be more trouble than its worth. I am tempted to get 4 new sensors for my snow setup.

It's easier to just get 4 new sensors. I just bought 4 from ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPMS-Tire-Pr...fbbdec&vxp=mtr

Replied to ur PM, and recommended u to buy some aftermarket sensors to save money. At least that's what I did for my ISF & it works flawlessly.

for you Canadian's who drive their C's in winter, how has that worked out for you? I live in Wash DC so we get minimal snow but I have been curious as to whether I need to invest in some snows for this winter season since my wife is driving my ML most of the time.

Definitely get snow tires, u don't need snow to slip & slide.. Anything below 10C can become dangerous with summer tires.

I got a square setup for my winter tire/wheel setup so I could rotate them front to back easily.
Downside is they are directional so you cannot swap side to side unless you get them flipped on the wheels.

None
I just got a new set of rims fro my 2015 E63, and had the wheel shop provide the TPMS sensors. They were able to match the sensors to the car - no trip to the dealer was necessary.
I suspect the same would be the case for the C63.
From what I understand, no special programming is required. Mine required some attention because one of the sensors installed was dead, so the onboard system initially displayed an error.

I installed two new sensors in my E550 after metal caps got stuck on the stems. No re-programming was required. I made sure I got the correct part which was A0009057200.

No tpms for ur 09, just mount & drive.
And u can use square set up on ur OEM wheels in winter. 235/40/18 all around.
No programming at the dealership required for ppl who needs tpms from what I read. The car should be able to recognize both tpms if they secobd set is clone properly.

One for the things Merc did 100% right. No need for OEM unless you like to spend extra money. Get the correct frequency for your car 433 mhz and ur done. They will recognize and work within a few miles of driving.

I have an OEM staggered setup but with same size tires all around. I got the tires for free practically brand new so I decided to use the setup. Its actually not bad at all on the stretch, in fact i cant even call it stretch. But in any case, I am a bit of a Michelin fanboi and use Michelin PA3 tires now. Once these go out, will move up to PA4.
