Default Best price onTire Pressure Sensors?

My 2011 GS will be getting new tires soon and I've got one flakey tire pressure sensor so I was planning on replacing all four as a precaution. So far they look to be $45-60 each! Is anyone aware of a better deal?

$45.00 sounds right.

I got a set of 4 Schrader TPMS Sensors for my 2006 for $29.79 each from Rock Auto about 1 month ago on a special.
Here is a discount code good until Jan 8, 2017 (5% discount)

Can you reuse the existing nuts?

They also reference "clips" what are they?

Did they come with th e O ring seal?

Did you get the 313 MHz or 433mhz units?

The ones I got from Rock auto had "O" ring seals installed and new nuts.
I got the 315MHZ which are what the OEM ones are for my car.

There is much unneccessary maintenance done here on the forum. At this age, there is no reason to replace all the sensors. If one is bad, replace it but replacing all is just not needed. I have two sets of wheels, one from 2006 and one from 2007 and all eight sensors still work fine. Be sure to test the new sensor before going to the expense of installing it...some here have installed and then found a bad one...meaning another install expense.
