TPMS sensors - OEM only or aftermarket
Do the TMPS sensors need to LX specific ie only through Lexus, or can you use others and have them coded for the LX? I have a set of Tundra 18" rims that I am looking to add sensors and tires and Discount Tire sells sensors with a lifetime guarantee, so I was thinking of getting them when I purchase the tires, but now I am wondering if I should purchase the sensors separately and have Discount install them onto the rims.
Thoughts?

I recently purchased a second set of wheels and went with TPMS sensors from Rock Auto. They were almost 1/3 of the price that the Lexus dealer wanted. I had them installed at the tire shop.

Ive used other rock auto parts with great success, and their shipping was fast to Australia only 13 days to arrive, still the quickest ive gotten yet.

all of a sudden ours is reading the spare at 26# which is low enough to trigger the warning but when I put a gauge to it its at 38#. I thought these worked or died, didnt realize they could miss read. Am curious how you fare with the after market ones as it looks like I have to swap one out.
