Just purchased 5 sensors for the off-road tires @ $54 each, so they're not out of line.Went to DISCOUNT TIRE today ..they tried to program them no joy...DEAD....4 sensors 299.60 out the door Y I K E S !!!! $400 something was the first quote for 4 sensors !!! I asked WHY so much and he said its the sensors it needs. I have been going to that Discount for almost 20 yrs and I always was taken care of VERY promptly and priced very fairly. I always make an appt. so I am in and out with my numerous trucks, hot rods etc. over the years...loved that store . I had a 5 pm appt. I was there at 4:50 pm but I didnt get out of there until 635.... Ugggh.

Sorry to hear that the service took so long.
