well after looking at the optima site, there is like 6 different models of each color, red and yellow. Maybe my original was a better model. Damn batteries.

I would go with the yellow-top if you have any sort of upgraded audio. Since I do, that's the one I'll be getting eventually. However I still don't see what the battery has to do with your TPMS since after the engine is running, it's powering your electrical system itself, not the battery.
