Might just be worth a shot... Wonder how long they'll last though. I kinda have a feeling that the Chinese batteries are a smidge inferior.

True...they are $53 shipped right now. Ordered the set & just like Mr. 23, I will let yall know how well they work/last.

Training them isn't too hard. Aftermarket is often the way to go!

I installed those Titan after market sensors last year when I got new wheels and tires. Worked fine for a month and then failed, that's right ALL 4 of them. Tried everything to get them to work, magnet trick for sure. Would not train. Called Titan and they could not get them to work either. Got the correct GM ones and have not had a problem since. Luckily Titan gave me my money back.

Some of you have had good luck with these but others have not (search the forums).

Peace of mind thing if you ask me.

So received and installed the set for $53, so far so good! Took them to discount tire to install them and then set them myself with a high powered magnet. It's been close to a month now.

I recently put new tires on my Corvette and 35 each for new sensors from Discount Tire. So far they are working perfect.

I needed replacement sensors for my 98 but 100 bucks a sensor is hard to swallow. They work great and a fraction of the price for stock ones.

I bought these 2 years ago. No problems. Training required no magnet. Very happy with product.
