2010 TPMS Sensor Question
I am about to be purchasing a new set of tires for my new to me 2010 Grand Sport. Will also be installing new TPMS Sensors. Curious as to a go to brand and where others have purchased their sensors. Pricing seems to be all over the board. Also, are they programable with a magnet like the C5 or is a special tool required. If a programming tool is required I would assume the tire shop would be able to handle that. Thanks.

Shrader made the OEM's. Here's link that includes them (see EZ sensor) and tool:

Tire shop will handle it but the convenience of having a <$15 programmer is hard to beat. I have the same style tool that StayinStock posted. You can't use magnets like on the C5s.
2010-13 have different sensors than 2005-2009 Corvettes.
Rock Auto sells the Schrader 29047 for the 2010+, which I have in my 11, for $21.79 per sensor and they work perfectly fine.

I just bought OEM sensors for my 2011 (AC Delco 20925924) from amazon for $49 each plus free shipping with prime. I also bought the programming tool StayinStock posted. I programmed all the sensors before I got them mounted in my new wheels to make sure they all worked and it was a very simple procedure

I used Schrader 20158's in my 2011 Grand Sport when I had new tires installed late last year.
Work perfectly. These also came with the nuts and seals.
As for matching, the shop can easily do it or you can do it with the matching tool purchasable from Amazon. Definitely work getting the tool as it is quite cheap.
