it really isn’t cheaper in my case as was quoted a price of close to $1,000 for a wheel and tire! I have had to replace sensors several times throughout the years and they aren’t too bad. I am also hearing from folks that would know that cleaning a sensor of fix a flat isn’t too bad if fresh. However the green slime is supposedly tough to clean.
