Tpms

Needing new TPMS sensors and wanted to know from those who have purchased Ore Tek or Titan TPMS how they have held up over time ? Given the significant price differences in these and the Beru units I can't help thinking that there must be something that allows these manufacturers to sell them at half price. Shorter sensor life due to cheaper component materials comes to mind. My original Beru sensors lasted 7 years.

i have a set from OE tires and they work fine. probably cheaper bc they're made in taiwan instead of germany.

If they are the same outfit as OE Wheels, which sensors did you get ? Surprisingly, they carry 5 different brands ranging from $ 136 to $ 320

If you need the Beru sensors, give me a call. I'm much better priced than the dealerships are!

I've been using OE Wheels sensors for over a year with no problem. ~1/4 the cost of oem. Just make sure you match your particular model with the sensor as there are many models and choices. It's really pretty simple. Best,

I've heard good things about ITM. I too need new TPMS for my summer set, will be going that route unless I read/hear otherwise.
