which tpms?

Hello everyone

Im in need of new tires, and the sensors are getting old, once and awhile ill loose one on the dash.
On the Common Parts List, it shows two different styles of sensors.
Does it matter which one you get? Snap/Bolt on OR rubber stem?
If it matters, im running the stock SS rims

thanks

I put the metal stem ones on my wheels. They are factor 17s. I got them from Rockauto and the work fine and the price was good.

I found this on RockAuto

But again which style do I use? Would both styles work or does it matter on which one came on my car because I have no idea

If you have steel rims the rubber snap-in are what came with the car won't work for most alloy wheels. Clamp-in is more for alloy wheels, they may work on steel.

My point, you use what ever you want, just make sure of the signal frequency, 315 MHz
