Unless your are really broke, I would go for new sensors. It's a lot of work and trouble to open up the tires, remount, rebalance, etc. and wind up with possibly doing it again. If you shop around, you can get new ones reasonably priced.

I have to disagree. It really doesn't have anything to do with being broke. I'm well into 6 figures and still can't bring myself to paying the Corvette tax. It just takes a little planning. Check around...you may find someone with some old sensors that they stored away when the batteries died and would be willing to almost give them to you. Changing the batteries is a peice of cake. I use the money I save by doing things myself to buy the fun stuff. Good luck.
