Whats up everyone,

Just have a quick question and want to see if its worth puting on all new TPMS on my 2008 Z06. I am puting new rubber on and need to replace 1 TPMS, is it worth changing all 4? It would suck that I put the new rubber on and then have to replace a sensor. How long do they normally last?


Steven

I thought you could get close to 10 years from the battery. I've got some pretty old C5 ones that are still working. Definately older than 4 years.

I wouldn't because they shouldn't be going on an 08.
