    valve stem tpms

    I remember seeing in a thread someone saying you could use valve stem mounted tpms on an 06 explorer, can anybody confirm that? I just got a set of the OEM 20"s and will be replacing all the tpms and I would rather pick those sensors than the wheel mounted ones with the band. Thanks a lot.
