@Tim_944 - I had the ones from TireRack on my 997.2 and those were good to go. Not sure if 991 would be different, but doubt it. If you do go the TireRack route, just talk to those guys. Their customer service is exceptional, honest, and helpful. I think you’re over complicating this. Also, I am very glad you're driving your car in the winter!

I used these in my previous 987.2 Cayman S. No issues after 2 years. https://www.tpms.com/Porsche-911-Car...che-911991.htm

On which one can choose ‘cheap chinese $h1+’ or ‘hope-it’s-not’ for more bucks. (May the odds ever be in your favor...)

I'm going to call Weissach in Vancouver tomorrow to see if they can get the TPMS sensors for me for a similar price / if not then I will order the HUF OEM ones from TPMS.com $69.00 USD each plus $50.00 shipping to Canada.

Try Scan automotive in North Vancouver, too.
I did not know San also sold parts. I will try them next time, thanks.
Weissach ended up giving me a good deal. I have been buying parts for the past 10 years (for my 944 and 928) and they usually give me a 10% discount off parts. I was able to get aftermarket (I believe the brand is Wurth) sensors for $80.00 each plus 10% off.

So you could have gotten OE sensors the exact ones that you would get from Porsche Huf RDE048 for $69 (RDE011's for $35 which are the same as 48's) instead you bought knock-off aftermarket for $72. Weird. Hope they work out for you.
