Road debris destroyed one of my OEM Bridgestones. (less than 10k on tires)
Is there a tire pressure sensor in the tire itself, as well as one on the stem?
And can they all be used (and easily removed/reinstalled) with the new replacement tire? I'm more than 2 hours from the nearest Toyota dealer so I plan on using a local shop after receiving my replacement tire from Tire Rack.

Thanks in advance.

The sensor is part of the valve stem, so you should be OK.

Just make sure the tire place doesn't F-UP the sensor when they're dismounting the tire. Make sure to let them know its there.
