Default TPMS sensor help

Hi Group
I need to buy a set. Any suggestions? Who`s got the best deal. Where to buy them and what kind of pricing can I expect. Are the non-GMC as good as GMC brand.
Thanks

You will get lots of opinions. I have bought 3 sets of TPMS sensors on ebay for $25-$35 for a set of 4. Oldest set is currently 5 years old; zero issues with any of them. I will be going to ebay for a set for the Centennial next time I buy tires. The OEMs are at least 10 years old now so I am on borrowed time.

I just check on ebay for a seller that has a high rating and has sold a bunch of the product I am purchasing.

I bought these on ebay. They work great.
4pcs Tire Presure Sensor TPMS for Cadillac Chevrolet Corvette C6 6.0 7.0L

From seller :acmotok
$39.24

I do not know how long their batteries will last. But they are working great so far.

Get the Schrader from rockauto. They will cost less than 100 bucks delivered. Schrader makes the oem sensors that cost considerably more. I have them and no issues in 2 years.

Semi related question... but my rear tires both read 0 pressure, and I'm assuming the sensor batteries are shot. But why don't I get any low pressure tire warning light? The only way I know they aren't functioning is when I go to the screen to check tire pressure and see both rears reading zero. Almosy half afraid to replace them. Car is a 2005 btw.

If the car is an '05 & they haven't been replaced, you're well beyond the typical battery life. You could buy a TPMS reset tool (about $15) and try to rest them. Generally if the TPMS aren't reading you'll get XX and not 0

I just got these but haven't installed them yet. This screenshot is from Rock Auto but then I found them at a better price on Amazon.

Disregard...see next message [I'm not seeing those on Rock Auto, can you please elaborate? My car is an '06.]

Disregard, see next message [Did you have to buy the nuts separately for these?]

The Schrader TPMS part number is 20076 for the 2006 Vette which I have. If rockauto does not have them listed it is because they are out of stock.

Looking at them again, they DO NOT come with the nuts. I like the Schraeder option with choice of silver or black nuts.

Do you know if these are pre-programmed? I'm not seeing this detail in the listing.

I don't. Called and asked about the nuts (included) but I didn't ask about programming. I have the EL-50448 "relearn tool" so I should be covered. When I called the guy picked right up and seemed to know what he was talking about so you might want to call and ask.

I just replaced my rear tires on a 2010 GS and the OEM Schrader TPMS sensors were 12 years old and still working.
