am getting new tires on my 2013 Prius (225/45R17) to replace my current tires. I had the TPMS changed on them in Jan 2024. They have about 15K miles on them since that time. Do I need to get new TPMS sensors when I am getting these changed, or should I ask them to try and reuse the existing ones? New OEM ones appear to run 80-100 per tire, so am debating on the cost... what is the general recommendation, and are there acceptable non-OEM versions that are considerably cheaper? getting these replaced at my local BJs, if that matters... Thanks,
The OEM Toyota TPMS will last you 10 years, however if you bought aftermarket ones from China, they will probably not last very long.
Some cheap aftermarket will only last a few years, so the real question is the quality of the ones that was last installed. My expectation is at least 5-8 years out of a good quality sensor. That's also what I would expect from good quality tires too.
