I'll take your 2011 RS sensors. What do you want for them? Mine die every 6 months I might as well stock up like I do with my other questionable substances...

I would think twice before turning these off if they're working. I know
people complain they're not that accurate and they don't help in case
of a sudden loss in air pressure, but they can help in some cases.

A friend of mine was driving on track a while ago and noticed the dash
air pressure warning light come on. When he pulled into the pits, the
tire still looked good, but was very low on air. It turned out there
was a puncture in the tire. What he thinks happened is that earlier in
the session a car spun in front of him throwing some debris on the
track which punctured the tire.
