    Default FoBo-TPMS on a F3-S

    Has anyone installed them on a 2015 F3S?
    it appears that my stems don’t stick out far enough to use them? Do I have to get new longer and metal stems? They show a t-type metal stem? Is that necessary to get these to work?

    Im having the same issue with my new F3. The valve stems just barely clear the wheels.I have my FOBO's from my ST. A friend told me I need to have longer stems installed . Why cant you just get extenders?

    I don't recall having any issues when I had the stock F3-S wheels.... All I had to do was push the stem away from the wheel a little bit and install the sensor. It touched the wheel but I never had a problem with either the sensor or any rubbing/marks on the wheels....

    you need to put longer stems or they could pull out.

    Default TPMS

    I just installed 3/4inch extensions for my TPMS senders. They work great. Like $6 from the Amazon warehouse..New.

    Default 3/4" extensions

    I added these to my F3L with the Shamrock wheels and they work well. Bought them on Amazon.

    The thing I dislike about extensions is that you introduce an additional failure point where you could develop a leak and the added weight/centrifugal force when rotating.... but go with what ya feel comfy with....

    Default F3-S Yes, L and T No

    I've had Fobo's on my 2015 F3-S for a couple of years with NO problems. They screwed on easily and have remained in place and working great since then. Looking at the MUCH shorter valve stems of the newer F3-T and L, however, the stem extenders would clearly be required. Not sure why BRP put such stubby valve stems on the T and L...I imagine it even causes some inconvenience putting air into them. ?
