    It something difficult about some sensors making them hard to remove to add air? My Garmin sensors are no harder to remove than a normal valve stem cap. Still trying to understand the need for a "T".

    Two words: Wear (and) tear. If you did this quite often, the sealing surface in the sensor could become worn out/damaged, or the sensor's housing could eventually fail.

    Plus... let's say that you remove a sensor to add air. You're going to have to then put it back on. You could lose a little air during that process of reinstalling it.

    So much easier to just install the T-Valve, mount the sensor on top, and use the perpendicular stem valve to add (or remove are) as needed.
