Yes, you most certainly can reuse. Or if you'd rather maintain a couple sets, the Tirerack 315 MHz sensors work well and are a lot less expensive than the Mazda.

Yes, provided the new rims accept them (the RP03's Do).

In fact, you only need to deflate the tires and break the seal near the stem to slip-in install them.

Well, you could simply reference the sticky here:

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ight=TPMS+rims

Tirerack also cites whether TPMS is applicable or not as do many manufacturer sites.

But then, I don't believe any Amish rims accept TPMS.
