I'm installing new tires should I replace TPMS

[jimweis]

2004 Batteries should be getting to the end of there life span shouldn't they? I don't want to go to all the trouble with new tires and then need new sensors. What do you guys know?

i would bother replacing them until they throw a code. Batteries last a long time.

if you get a good deal i would be a lot cheeper then ahev to re pay to have them mounted and balanced thats my 2 cents

I was in the same boat as you. Replaced the tires about 6 months ago on my 2004 and didn't want to have to mount and rebalance because of a dead TPMS. I bought from www.tire-sensors.com. All 4 for around $100 at that time. Shelf life on the TPMS is between 5 to 7 years. Good luck in your decision.

Is there a production date on these? How do you know if you are getting fresh new ones or '04 leftovers?

hmm didn't know they had batteries. Never thought about it. 04 and still okay with no issues..

They are aftermarket sensors.
