South Africa Wheel and tire Question (R95's 18inch)

Greetings. I currently have a 2004 MCS. Suspension, brakes and wheels are stock standard (S-spoke's) . I just got off the phone with MINI parts, and their offering me a good price on a beautiful set of 18inch R95's. If I'm going with the R95's, ill need a new set of tires, if I use non-runflats, will the tire indicator need to be reset or something of the sort? Thanks!

You should re-set the TPMS each time you put air in your tires run flat or not.

Yeah, as above, once the new wheels and tyres are on and correctly inflated, simply reset the type pressure monitor as explained in the handbook.

Awesome choice of wheel, too - the best MINI have ever produced in my opinion.

Agreed! I had to have one of my tyres plugged last week and needed to reset the TPMS too.
