There are a hundred or more TPMS makers, some are junk. The "German" ones are supposed to be good. I know of Schrader and Alligator (both German make) and currently have both on my TSW wheels. I have no idea what the OEM TPMS brand used is. I do know that if you have an issue with the TPMS acting up that Kia will not authorize a diagnostic unless you have the OEM sensors on the car.

OEM from amazon is $150 CAD but could take a while to ship. Kia Stinger Genuine OEM 52933J5000 TPMS Sensor Valve for 17-18 (4 Pcs Set), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Amazon Canada
Dealer was $222+tax. I opted for the dealer since I was in a rush.
Car auto detects TPMS and which wheels they're on, no programming required.

So even with new ones that are not oem, they don't need to be programmed right??
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

That has been my consistent experience since February 2019, when I first got my TSW wheels and aftermarket TPMS sensors. Twice a year I swap wheels with the OEM and the TPMS sending module recognizes the sensors in each without my having to do a thing.
(My recent issue with the entire TPMS system going down - showing only the start up screen "Tire Pressure Drive to Display" - was a loose connection and nothing to do with programming or the lack thereof.)
