Spare rotation—does it have TPMS, etc.

[thehaymon5]

Does the spare have a TPMS? If not, will adding one confuse the truck? I always do a five tire rotation on my Wrangler. Its computer recognizes which tire is in which corner within a few miles. 3000 mile trip next week and want to get oil changed and do tires rotation before I go. Already at 4000 on truck.

Yes it does.

You personally moved your spare and saw this first hand? I know the TRX guys said theirs did not have one. I would love to do a 5 tire so I hope it has one now.

Ummm . . . did you just say 3000 mile trip?? I guess you aren't having any issues with your truck!

Can anyone else confirm or deny that our trucks come with TPMS in the spare?

I had a minor wheel vs curb happen, and since we have full wheel and tire spares i switched them out and the TPMS is working fine. Did i break the bead and visually verify the sensor was installed ?? No. i can only assume it’s in there
But hey you can always crawl under your truck drop your spare and check for yourself

Very true… was leaning towards the side of being lazy. Still a few thousand away from needing to rotate but when I do rotate I will do a 5 tire and hope for the best.
