If you could find out what was exactly done & share that, we would all appreciate it. Unless I have missed it somewhere, I haven't heard of anyone sucessfully cloning Mirage sensors yet. I've just heard it can be done in theory. If Discount Tire cloned your new sensors to your original sensors, I would call that success!
My understanding is that the car was reprogrammed with the new sensor ids. They plugged one tool in to the ODBII port, with the special blue Mitsubishi cable, and used the other tool to identify the sensors. Beyond that, I don't know the exact details of what they did.
I'm pretty sure they didn't clone anything, because the other tires and sensors were not present.
