Default Best deals on TPMS sensors?

Hello all, I just purchased a 2007 RX 350 with only 30,000 miles on it, I am officially a Lexus lover. When we purchased the vehicle there TPMS light was on and I am currently trying to fix the issue. I took the car to a friend who works at discount tire and he told me the two back ones were dead. He told me he could replace the sensor, installation included, for $60 per tire. So I have been doing research to figure out the best deal for sensors that will work with this car i.e. programmable, fixed. Has anybody else ordered TPM S sensors from online? If so could you send me the link? Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond.

God Bless,
​​​​​​​Jesse

Rockauto.com has the oem Denso sensors for about $35 each. You might as well replace all four, at 10 years old the batteries in all of yours are about to go.

I agree with nwfsnake, rockauto is a good source for Denso. Ask how much your buddy charges to install them, at $60 installed that's not bad at all. Always buy new though, I find a few people here and there who buy used sensors which could die any day.

Thank you NVAKeith my friend at discount tire told me about the full size spare and how it also has a sensor and nwfsnake thank you for that web site it looks great and has great deals. Lexuswiz, he said he would install them for free if I provided my own, I just had to be cautious and get ones that are either progamable or make sure they sync to the car. I'll make sure to stay away from used ones.

Thank you all

Denso is the OEM sensor so you should be good if you get those. There are many out there and most should work, you're essentially just putting a number into your car's computer, it's more important to have the software and tools to program that number not necessarily the sensor itself.

Not sure of the "best" deal but I'm a big Discount Tire fan. Just had all 5 sensors replaced on another vehicle due to an issue and they were $60 each.
