7 years need 4 new tires what to do about TPMS

Hi all

I am going to be purchasing new tires in the next month for my 09 base. My car is 7 years old which is as I understand the expected battery life of the TPMS sensors. I am not sure what I should do? I understand the batteries cannot be replaced so I need to replace the sensors. Someone mentioned they could be had for ~$10 a piece from ebay. Should I go ahead and buy 4 new sensors?

if ure tight on cash dont bother, just live with the TPMS light in the cluster and periodically check ur tire pressure as u should be doing it regardless. if not, definitely get new ones installed, check ur local tire store for pricing.

I think I'll keep them for now. I hear they can last 10 years.

My 05 BMW has TPMS and they are working fine. At least I can replace the batteries on mine though..

Is there a good generic TPMS that is compatible with the Fit and can be serviced?
