Well looks like 2 of my original tires needs to be replaced. 30k miles on the tpms.



Usually when you get new tires you change the stems but i believe the tpms have the stems built in them. What is mazda's recommendation when changing the tires? reuse for a few more miles or replace.



I'm guessing discount tire will just reuse them right?

u can reuse them. they will prob only replace the core inside the valve stem along with the seal and nut. the atcual sensor doesnt get changed unless damaged.
