Wheel sensors destroyed through tire removal? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I'm going to need to get a new set of tires pretty soon, so I'm doing some pre planning.

I was thinking of getting my wheels (91 sawblades) refinished at the same time as the tires. They have no curb rash but some pitting and stains/fading. The idea is remove the old ties, refinish and then mount the new tires on super "new" wheels.

I spoke to a local (ARS Wheels) shop that has a good reputation. They said that I will need to get a full set of sensors as they will not guarantee their "survival" through removal or install. (BTW, they want $180 per wheel.... FYI)

Is that true? I've never head such a thing. Obviously a new set of sensors complicates this project and ads an additional (pretty stout) expense.

So is removing the tires hazardous to sensors or do I need another shop?
