      reset it every time you pump your tyres up. works off the ABS sensors i think

        The bigger (and wider)the wheel the more unsprung weight and more importantly, is something called Moment of Inertia, even if a larger wheel is lighter overall it is where the weight is concentrated that is also imporrtant. This will lead to slower acceleration, negative affects on handling, increased fuel consumption....I agree that 18's are properbly overkill, but I think 17s while they look good and that is a valid consideration to some, are also overrated.

        IF Performance is a critera you consider important, use a wheel that is as light as you can without sacricing srength, and don't go bigger unless you have a really good reason, e.g. Brake clearance

            It's a very complex process.

            While driving at 60kph on a flat road. You hold the tyre pressue button in for 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep. The button is located next to the hazard's button on the dash.
