Buyers of RS's now have some great second hand FL options. The last 3 cars I've had before the RS have been demos because you save so much damn money on them, unfortunately when I bought there was near to no FL RS's on the market so I begrudgingly bought new.

This is the same spec as my car but with a year and 4700km under the belt (ie as good as brand new)... But $7k less (advertised, guessing some arm twisting would get another 1-2k off)...

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.

I agree! They are just the best tyres! so quiet, and so grippy at the same time.
Good choice!

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.....
