if you want the tire pressure monitoring system to work, you need to install new tpms in your new wheels or remove the sensors from your old wheels and have them installed in the new ones....

I realize that.. Im keeping the original tires and wheels together so Im buying new sensors. Was wondering if the schrader ones are as good as oem since they are half the price.
