    Hi,

    Yeah, you'll have to take the tire off, or atleast deflate the tire and pop the bead in order to get at the sensor inside the rim. I think you might have to take the tire off becuase even if you break the bead, its not going to bend much due to the tire being low profile ( this is if you have a GTS)

    If you have a smaller rim (de or es) with the wider sidewall tires on them, then you might be able to get away with just popping the bead and bending the tire inward to reach behind the valve stem area.
