Non-RFT's and TPMS Monitors

monkster68 · 02-08-2009, 09:12 PM

If I put non-rft's on my 335 xi , will the TPMS light stay on all of the time and if not will the sensors work correctly. Guy at BMW dealer said without RFT's the warning light will stay on all of the time?????

As long as the sensors are in the wheels, and functioning properly, you have nothing to worry about.

sensors don't know whether you have RFTs or not...they only know air pressure. They'll work fine as long as your pressures are correct.

Your dealer can't say anything about tires without 'runflat' somewhere in the sentence.

agreed, I just got non-rft's and the sensors are still able to function properly.

The TPMS system has nothing to do with what type, size, style of tire you use. As long as the sensors are in place it will work fine.
