Non RFTs

Try Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Seasons. I switched from RFTs to these recently - very happy so far!

I'm sure the answer is lurking somewhere in the depths of the forum but on the subject of moving from RFT to 'normal' do you have to change any software settings with the car to get it to ignore the tyre (tire) pressure checking.

I'm assuming the pressure monitoring only works with RFT?

On the subject of RFT the only supplier I can find for the 20" is Bridgestone Dueler. Does anyone know of any other manufactures of the RFT

thanks

Tire pressure monitoring will work on any type of tire, provided you install the TPMS sensors. The system can be disabled by coding if you wish.

The main problem when switching from RFT's to "normal" tires is that you don't have a spare and therefore, you can potentially get stranded. So, it is best to have a contingency plan such as a large can or two of "fix-a'flat" and/or a portable air pump. Don't disable the TPMS for safety reasons.
