Having said that, I wouldn't recommend RF snows because you won't know which one is flat. I thought the 4.8 had a space-saver spare?

Rambling on...
If one's car doesn't have
in-wheel sensors, you don't just glue in
a set...I'm sure someone will come up with a add-on sensor and
"reader", but not yet. In addition, the older version of "tire pressure reading",
using the FTM method, won't "read" any in-wheel sensor, anyhow.
Scratching my head about the "other set of tires" conundrum, I
think I'd add tires to existing wheel, (with the in-wheel sensor),
though that may force one to deal with big freakin wheel/tire sets.
Or, go to winter wheels, (non-"sensored"), and snow tires and learn
to live with that ancient method of actually driving around and having
to keep an eye on your tires' "bulge" and even having to occasionally
check them damn tars' pressure.
For those of you with the older FTM method, toss on what tire
you like, reset the sensor readings and go.
RFTs...as I have ranted about
: a great invention for Buffy hauling
the soccer team around the malls and byways of Amerika. For cars,
sports cars, et al, with minimal "room", a great idea. In a 2 1/2 ton
suv...pretty fooking weird.
