Run Flat - Warning Message

Post by Avtar » Wed Dec 15, 2010 6:07 pm

Just had my winter wheels/tyres put on at my local tyre fitters and shortly after leaving a message appeared on my dash informing me of 'tyre pressue low, warning'. Having never owned a car with run flats my question is that is there some form of reset/additional tasks that is required when changing run flat based wheels?

It just needs resetting, tells you how in your owners manual, nothing to worry about.
Something in the OBC and a couple of resets from memory.
