TPMS Types for 2012 GS

Was just wondering, does any specific 315Mhz sensor work with our cars or are there specific models to stick with on our cars? Went to tire rack and they're wanting $170 for 4 sensors, but on amazon I can find 315Mhz ones for about $100-120 for a pack of 4.

Where do you guys get your sensors from? Starting to get the random XX from various corners. TPMS are the originals so they're about 6-7 years old now, so its about time.

Car is a 2012 GS

I bought OEM off Amazon which I believe were $32 ea. My tire/wheel pkg came with aftermarket TPMS installed and I had nothing but issues with the. The vendor replaced 2 but still issues until I swapped them with OEM.

Can't do it without giving my account, but I bought GM OEM on the big A recently.

I believe discount tire does warranty theirs for 72k miles and several years, I forget exactly how long. Replacement free if under warranty. Just a thought.

I don't have a programmer ... I just let the tire store reprogram the sensors when they replace them. They don't charge extra for this.

Looks like you saved yourself $10 going with aftermarket vs OEM sensors. Nobody said you have to buy from a dealer but at least with OEM parts they're pretty much guaranteed to work, whereas aftermarket is hit or miss. For $10 more, I'm going with OEM.
