I'm getting a new set of tires for my 2011TTS with centerlocks along with new sensors. Local Porsche dealer will be mounting and balancing them. They are Tirerack's recommended installer so I'm paying tirerack's price for the tires. However, the Porsche OEM sensors with valve stems are $182 a piece/$728 for the set and they come with 2 year warranty which means dealer will replace any defective sensor for free including labor, mounting and balancing. Tirerack's are $71 a piece/$284 for the set so a huge difference of $444. The OEM sensors have lasted 6 years without any problems and have been completely accurate. I would like to know if the aftermarket sensors are going to be just as accurate and, more importantly, as reliable and last for 6 years. I don't want to blow $444 but I also don't want any hassles. Thanks

Yep saves money. I doubt the dealer will install "non Porsche" parts. Parts that a supplier makes for them anyway. Ridiculous

I bought the ITM brand sensors from here - they've lasted three years so far and work well.

my after-market TPMS from OE Wheels work perfectly.

I have used the Titans as well on several of my current Porsches and they work just as OEM...and lots cheaper. You just need to be sure you get the correct frequency/model. No issues with them at all...

I bought a set of aftermarket and the sensors "reset" regularly. Basically while driving, my car thinks ive switched wheels. At my next stop i reset the sensors via the steering wheel stalk then they work again for a while. So in summary they work, but are annoying. I think they were titan brand but i cant remember.

Do 997.1 and .2 use different TPMS or are they the same ,
