Hi all
So the S3 doesn't have proper TPMS that can give exact value of PSI, instead it is ABS sensor / rolling resistance related
My question is when should you then click the store pressures button on the MMI?
Because clicking it at a standstill is surely a bit useless as there is no rolling resistance and the ABS sensor isn't doing much? But on the other hand clicking it after driving for a while, the tyres will be hot, so higher pressures... Meaning probably everytime you start the car after leaving it overnight, you'll probably get a lower pressure warning as they will have cooled down?
I know this abs sensor / rolling resistance TPMS isn't great anyway, but I'd like to try and get the best use out of it
What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
