a couple hundred dollars tops

~50$ each, so 250$ for a set with your spare (you should put one on your spare).

They are expensive to get installed on their own, but if you're getting new tires/a mount and balance anyways; then it is free. Maybe a small charge for programming if you don't want to do it yourself.

Edit: spelling is hard

I was about to add that they usually have to replace the sensors when they replace the tires, and the replacement cost isn’t typically close to the list price
