Smile 2015 Honda Civic LX - replace TPMS Sensor after new tires?

Hi Civic Friends!

I have a 2015 Honda Civic LX Sedan CVT Automatic 1.8 Liter 4 cyclinder, live in sunny San Diego, California, and drive 80% highway miles. If I replace my stock Firestone Affinity Touring S4 all-season tires w/ specs P195/65R15 89H with new Continental TrueContact P195/65R15 91T:

1) Do I need to replace the TPMS Sensors and/or the valve stems?
2) Who do ya'll recommend I use as the installer between the dealer, private shop, Walmart, Costco, or Sears? *I'm likely buying online from TireRack.com.

Grateful for any thoughts. Thanks!

It has plain rubber valve stems, there are no TPMS sensors to replace.
We replace plain the rubber stems whenever new tires are installed.

Just reset the tire light (start the calibration) when the new tires are installed.
