I tried the Bridgestone 960 for about 45 days. Never could get a smooth ride, then Discount Tire identified 3 of the 4 were out of round. Discount Tire was great to work with but I lost all confidence in Bridgestone. I requested to replace all 4 tires with Michelin Pilot AS Plus. I gladly paid a little extra for the Michelin's and now have a great smooth ride. I'm not a hard driver, so a smooth, quiet ride is important. Michelin's do have a very slight grumble up to about 30 MPH that I did not notice on the Stones.

I put new snow tires on last winter without the sensors. The indicator light came on and stayed on......that was ok.
 
After approx 200 miles, 5the buzzer would come on approx every 3 minutes for about 30 seconds......a real annoyance. The dealership said that they could adjust the program to eliminate the buzzer......cost $250.
 
There has to be an easier way.

Tire Sensors by dprocyk

I installed new high performance snow tires last winter.......car ran beautifully throughout the snowiest winter in 20 years in Toronto.
 
I didn't buy tire sensors.......never had them or needed them for my previous 40 years of driving, and didn't feel like paying the roughly $800......the tire pressure indicator light wasn't an issue to me.
 
Trouble is the tire pressure buzzer started after a couple hundred miles. it was intermittent and annoying. Dealership said it would cost $250 to deactivate or activate this feature.
 
Anybody out there know an easier or less expensive way for deactivation of the buzzer ??
