Default TPMS Replacement Sensors

Have an 08C2S and need replacement wheel sensors. Any experience with non OEM sensors and source for buying them? Thx.

Yeah. Several options out there for cheap. Google search the forum. There is a big thread about it.

Bought new ones 6m ago. Can get knock offs for 150 or so. Tirerack has them for $6 each. Worth it to just have them guaranteed to work.

Actually have a set that works fine if you want them cheap. Just went from a 2007 to 2009 and they aren't compatible between 997.1 and 997.2.

Do they need to be registered with PIWIS on the 997.2?

Don't believe so, just plug and play. My tire guy for sure doesn't have a PIWIS.

Nope. The car learns them.

Tire Rack $240 a set, not the cheapest but far cheaper than dealer and not generic.

call the guys at OEWheels. They know TPMS and carry the OEM Beru sensors as well as some aftermarket options. They are knowledgeable about which ones work best

I purchased a set of Beru Huf sensors from OE Wheels for about $300 a few years ago. The have been working just fine. My local dealer wanted $900 for a set. From what I have read, some folks have had good luck with lower cost brands ( non Beru Huf) others have had problems.

Discount Tire (Americas Tire) has them for $60 each. They let me have em for $55 each when I had them swap my tires onto new wheels last week. Theyre working fine.

^ What he said. I just bought new skates for mine and the generic Discount Tire sensors worked just fine. I believe that as long as they run on the 400Mhz range that they will work. I shelled out 60 smackers each for mine and they haven't skipped a beat.
