If your nearly 10 year old original sensors haven't been replaced yet, I would recommend doing it now.
Otherwise, just put a dab of silicone grease on the rubber stem seals, and reuse them with the new tires.
BTW, you'll be amazed how quiet those non-runflats will be!

If your car is a 2002 as your profile indicates, you cannot replace the battery's. That works for 1997 through 2000 TPMS. Different system in the 2001 - 2004 cars.
I agree with replacing the TPMS if they are still the original..... Check with Tire Rack. They have good prices on new. You need to call and ask as they are not easily found on their web site.
