Never punctured a tire before but this is really concerning since replacements are not readily available. I'm wondering if the "low tyre pressure" warning light remaining illuminated if you use an alternative brand is really true.
I agree, the only way that's possible is with a smart system where you have to enter in a computer the make and model of tire you have. But the industry hasn't got to that point yet.How could the sensors possible recognize what brand of tire you're using? I have difficulty in believing that's possible. I don't see how the tread style could have any impact on the tire pressure required. You could always leave the TPMS illuminated and just monitor the levels yourself on a regular basis.
