red warning light - run flat indicator

Post by rockwell » Tue Oct 03, 2017 1:35 pm

Hello all, just had new Pirelli Scorpion STR's fitted all round on an X3 3.0d 2006 manual to replace reasonably worn but legal existing Scorpions.  (had about 34,000 mls and 3 1/2 years on originals) The tyre fitter presented me with two broken rear springs!  must have happened fairly recently as sailed through the MOT about 6 weeks ago.  To my eternal shame I failed to notice this as not used the car very much.
Replacement tyres have been reduced by 2 psi all round as fitter said originals were slightly over inflated.  As I left the tyre centre the red run flat light came on....is this because of the new tyres / slight change in pressure, or possibly something to do with the broken springs having been removed?
Back in tomorrow for replacement springs.

New tyres are bigger in circumference so just reset the monitor ans you should be sorted.
