I am reluctant to recommend these,,,,,, but I did install these on my new wheels about 3 months ago. So far they work just fine. I figured if they didn't work, I could replace them myself. If you don't think you could do this, it may be to big of risk. It would probably cost $200 for a tire shop to change them. When I looked at them, they did look just like the OEM ones. All of the TPMS's are made in China. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks kodpkd, I had them saved,lol..... They are exact duplicates of my TPMS and the ones in my 2017 are still working, lol. I see a pretty big price difference on these guys so thought I would ask.
Wonder where these are made? Why are they $42.xx for just one?
$42.25

Do not buy the Amazon ones. In two years or less they will be dead - ask me how I know....
Instead go to Rock Auto and get the Schrader 20223 sensors for around $20 each. I talked to an engineer at Schrader before purchasing these. He explained it is the exact same sensor they produce for GM under the AC Delco brand. It has a different part number because that is the only way Schrader can sell it in the aftermarket business. I have used the 20223 sensors multiple times and they look and work exactly the same as the OEM sensors but are less expensive. Have had a set in my car for 5 years with no problems.

Unless you have a tire machine, this is not a do it yourself type job. You have to break the bead of the tire on the outside edge and the safe way to do that is with a bead breaker on the tire machine. Once the bead is broken, you can compress the tire enough to replace the sensor, but it requires serious force. You will not do it without tools. Run flat sidewalls (and competition tires) are seriously stiff. You can stand on the sidewall and it will barely move. I use up to five 600 LB force bar clamps to compress the sidewall of the tire.

That's what I did. I didn't want the tire shop to remove and install the wheels on my car. I removed them from my car and had them just switch the tires to the new wheels. I installed the new TPMS on the new wheels. I talked to the installer and he assured me he wouldn't scratch the new wheels.

By the way - I commend you for not letting the tire shop work on your car. The reason I bought my tire machine and a balancer is because of so many times the tire shops have damaged my wheels, my new tires and my cars. Most of those places have employees that don't give a damn if the wheels on your car cost more than the car they drive. They probably damage stuff on purpose out of jealousy.

Crossing my fingers,,, we will see how long they last. I would love to know where all of the TPMS's are made. It wouldn't surprise me if they are all the same. I looked at the plastic housing on the ones I got and compared them to the OEM ones, you could see molding marks in the plastic that were exactly the same. Looking at all the different suppliers on Rock Auto, they also look the same. There are a few DIY's on changing them on YouTube. I don't have run flats so maybe it is doable.

I have never an issue with Discount Tire providing the correct TPMS units for my various C6 vettes and a 2010 caddie CTS when the original factory units quit.
