Are Tyre Pressure Sensors Required?

[Don Coffey]

Hi,

I’m about to swap out the cars wheels for a set of winter wheels. These are fitted with non runflat tyres and I realised today that they don’t have the pressure sensors fitted. Needless to say I understand this will mean the car can’t tell me if I have low pressure in a tyre but will it also mean I’m bombarded with warnings that the tyre pressure can’t be confirmed?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Don
Yes you will need sensors for your winter wheels as the old models had the sensors in the hubs the F15/F16 have them fitted in the wheels where the valves are , the car will constantly be running a fault , they are about £90 each from Dealer .
