Factory settings are good for me on Dunlop SportMaxx - I know, they are noisy but wear is even :shocked:

Tyre Pressure Monitor - press to reset when ignition on and vehicle stationary. Detects sudden drop in pressure of any tyre when moving.

It's all in the MANUAL.................................................. :smug:

you press it when you've lowered the pressure in the tyres for snow driving, so the warning doesn't annoy the pish out of you.
