    Would you cahnge your TPMS sensors?

    My car was first put in service Aug. 2010 (2011 model), thus 7+ years old. I will now be changing tires. The TPMS sensors are fine BUT, on a car that is 2 years older, one sensor has already needed to be replaced six months ago - which I did. I am told that sensors will normally last 8-10 years. I am thinking of replacing the TPMS sensors at the same time as I replace the tires, as preventive maintenance, so to speak and to avoid having a problem a year or so down the road. Would you replace the sensors? [This car has 30K miles, so the coming tire change will probably last me my remaining life ownership of the car, say 4 to 5 years. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

    There are two parts in each sensor? One on the fender and one on the tire itself? I will do mine too. Any would you please share pictures of your project?

    I always have new tpms sensors with new tires. IIRC, between $10 and $15 per wheel.
