If i was you i would wait to replace cores,seals,nuts and caps if you already have them installed and they are not leaking, untill the next time you replace you tires. Your lights on your dash will let you know if you have any leaks. I would'nt worry.
Jim,

One of the big tire service centers around here is good old Wally World. I have been in there with my smart wheels and sensors. And yes they say that these parts should be changed everytime. HOWEVER they have a book as thick as many small town phone books full of TPMS parts listings. AND NONE FOR smart CARS! - yet........that to me is one of the problems with these hairball ideas, rather than an evolved design that has common parts, it was forced on us by the Firestone/Ford deal and they are all over the place and we as consumers can't get them.....I have tried smart deales, MB dealers, Mitsi dealers, Wal-Mart, Firestone and NO ONE HAS THESE IN THE NASHVILLE TN area yet that I have found.
