Man that's a great deal. I paid similar money for a 2008 pre-FL RS sedan just 4 months ago. I would have bought that wagon in a heartbeat.

So got my new set of ContiSposrtContact5's on today and feel's great in the quick drive to work I had. Wheels are filthy though with all the tyre fitting goop etc. 10km into my drive the low pressure indicator came on. I went to the closest servo and all tyres were at 37-39psi. I tried to match them up to 36psi and reset the sensor. Hoping I don't have a flat tyre when I get to my car after work tonight.

It ll do that every time after new tyres, the sensors are still working off the rolling diameter of the old tyres.

Thanks mate. Figured it probably freaked them out a bit.

Its not actually an active TPMS system (i.e. a sensor in each wheel) - its "passive TPMS"
It detects the rolling diametre of the wheel and if its too far off, it'll start flashing its little light.

Whenever you: get new tyres; get new rims; put the spare on; pump the tyres up; etc - you must reset the system so that it doesn't scare the hell out of you.

Like it did with me at '110' kmh freeway speeds in the wet the other day!!
I worries that they hadnt been fitted properly, or sprung a leak / blow out!!

It was nothing.....
