New Tires and TPMS
My 2002 vert will be getting new tires soon at 32,000 miles replacing the original GY's. I had GS D3's on a '96 LT4 (great tire) but for piece of mind I decided to purchase Michelin Pilot Sport run flats. What about the TPMS? Should these be replaced? I believe the valve stem is a part of the TPMS; should the valve stem gaskets be replaced?

I replaced the tires on my 98 a couple of months ago with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZP's that I purchased from Discount Tire Direct for $1088 incl free shipping and had a local shop that they reccommended, install for $20/tire. I also replaced the TPS since the car was 9 1/2 years old. Since your sensors are not that old, but it's a pain to have to remove the tires to replace the sensors at a later date, I would reccommend you go ahead and replace them. The sensors come with a new O-ring and you re-use your old nuts.

I would replace them just because you are in there, you can get a set of 4 from Gene Culley at gmpartshouse.com for like 150 or 160 and not have to worry about it, sell your old ones and you have new for not much
