Cos I thought run flats would tell me if a small drop in pressure happened, I havent checked them since last September, but before the run to Fintray I thought I would check them, they were all at 24psi, not much of a drop but a wake up call all the same.:clown:

Does anyone read the manual when they get a new car

OK - here we go

1. The tyre pressure warning system has nothing to do with having runflat tyres on your car.
2. The tyre pressure system cannot detect a gradual drop in pressure which happens over time with all tyres. It can only detect a differential drop in pressure in a tyre against the others by detecting a change in it's rotational speed.

I usually check mine every two weeks.

Head held down in shame!:disapprove:

I was only joking - honest :evil:
