TPMS replacement
My daughter is replacing tires soon. She has a 2015 GLK. I'm thinking of replacing the sensors. I have the MB part number and they can be found at about $50 each online. Can anyone offer any advice or recommendations regarding?
Thanks!

Unless your current TPMS sensors are faulty, why replace them? I got new tires put on this past January, the guys just rebuild them as part of the normal mounting of new tires. If the battery in a sensor dies and needs to be replaced, that's a different issue.
The tire shop should know how to remove and reinstall TPMS sensors as part of a new tire mounting. You don't need new ones unless the current ones are faulty.

I'm told you can't replace the batteries. The sensors have to be replaced when the batteries fail. I was just trying to be ahead of the failure. Maybe I'm guilty of overthinking this, wouldn't be the first time either. I do appreciate the input.

I'd only start worrying when the car is 10 yrs old. Youre a 2015 so dont bother. I'm in a 2010 and still on original tpms sensors.
I did have to replace one sensor though, but that was because of salt corrosion and the shop broke it.
