Have a 1998 Corvette. Bought it new. About 40,000 miles and year-old new Goodyear run-flats. RR sensor flashes about a flat tire, then a few minutes into the drive reads the correct air pressure--not flat. The dealer said he "reset" the sensor, but it still malfunctions. Do you recommend a costly replacement, just live with it--or what?

Thanks! I did research on the web, so I would be literate talking to the Chevy dealer. The procedure to replace it looks simple enough?
I'm going back to the dealer this week--who claimed they "re-set" the sensor. We'll try again...
I've learned my lesson the hard way, with my daily driver--using independents. I only take the Corvette to a dealer.
