After a couples miles have a tyre pressure light with the new tyres

Popped them up to 30 psi (one was under 20). No change

Pressed the tyre button near the ashtray for a couple seconds and the light went out.

Is that correct? Have I reset tyre pressures point...

I should read the book but it's not with me.
Yeah spot on. I reset mine every week or so when I do my air checking rounds. You press and hold till the light turns amber. This then registers the pressures on the wheels, once it's finished it'll turn off automatically :driving:

Is that with the 224s ? 255 40 & 225 45 profiles ? If so 30 not really enough , try 32-33 front 34 - 36 rear then tweak up down to find the optimum "feel" for you

I'm 2.4 bar front and 2.6 rear... so 33 and 35 or something. Very true Mr Wilks but 30 is way better than 20!! :lol:

Thanks all. I've got to mess a little with pressures. will try them at 32/34 today

I've treated z to a bit of tlc today, have a detailer making a house call to remove a couple of paint defects (light scratches). Not obvious at all in the silver, but hey, it's xmas, and I'm on a spending spree
