Default Tire pressure sensor question

I have a 99 with Goodyear run flats and looking to replace the tires (probably with kumho ASX). Do I have to do anything with the tire pressure sensors? Thanks

It's up to you... I just replaced my factory rims and tires. Instead of re-using the TPS's, I purchased 4 new ones. Their life span is 5-10 years, so why deal with breaking the bead to replace before you need tires again?

MRBILL, do yourself a big favor and do what chuck 1026 suggests. The damage that you risk to the wheels is not worth the price of the sensors.
