Default Tpms ?

Changing the original Goodyear’s on my 2006 vert. Figure I should change out the original sensors. Where is everyone buying theirs? Thanks

Got the Schrader brand (seems to be highly recommended) at Rock Auto for $20.79 each. Their part # 20076.

Yes farmington. Car has 21,000mi and doesn’t get driven much. Noticed that the driver side front tire is wearing bad on the inside and all the tires showing cracks. Just ordered a set of Continental extreme contact non run flat. Hoping the ride will be much better. Thanks everyone. Will be ordering new sensors now.

Stupid question. When I go to different sites they show tpms for 2006 corvette but they look different from each other. Does that matter?

The tire dealer usually has them and can install them along with the new tires.

I agree with Rock Auto and OEM Schrader sensors. I've had them going on 5 years. Had them installed with my new tires and did the relearn using the tool from Amazon.

Just put on the same tires, love 'em. Bought a small plug in air pump that fit's in the trunk compartment, flat fix kit, going to get a small scissor jack then I'll be ready for that nail in the roadway!! Non run flats are a much better ride. Michelin makes a neat little tire pump for somewhere around $50 if I remember.
