Whatever Tire Rack sent me worked. On the invoice they are listed as "433MHz Tire Pressure Sensor" $43.00
No relearn procedure or anything, I started driving and after a few miles the values populated onto the dash.

hmm, that’s interesting. everything i read is the 443mhz is export cars only. all the domestic cars are 315mhz. when i changed the sensors in my c6, it was 315, not 443. perhaps with c7, they settled on 443 for all cars. so you are saying that all you had to do was install them and the car automatically recognized then after a few miles. that’s a lot easier than what they had to do on my c6.

First, make sure you purchase OEM sensors. Aftermarket sensors are more prone to problems. You may pay more but the lack of issues makes it worthwhile. Check various sources for sensor prices. In addition to Tire Rack, The House of Wheels a forum sponsor in Florida sells OEM sensors.

JMII is correct. All C7 Corvettes use 433MHz senors. The OEM part number is 13581560. The OEM sensor is made for AC/Delco - GM by Schrader. Schrader also sells the same sensor with a part number of 20223. TireRack sells the Schrader 20223.
One difference in these sensors is that the 20223 will work on 2014 to 2019 C7s. The OEM 13581560 part number will only work on 2014 to 2017 C7s. The 2018 and 2019 C7s switched to a new OEM part number of 13598775. The 20223 part is backwards compatible for all C7s.
RockAuto has the 20223 part for only $22.79. I doubt you will beat that price.
