yeah, i think all cars with run flats have a tire pressure monitoring system, or there would be no point

basically run flats just have a super hard sidewall so you can keep driving on them after they lose tire pressure

still you need to know that there is a problem because you can only drive so far on them

i thought that the number was about 50 miles, but i'm not positive

its 50mph for 50 miles.... And as soon as it punctures I'm sure the tpms lights will go nuts.... Wonder if it shows eash wheel or just a " general" you have a tire at low pressure light

good question. You'd think with the advanced engineering they would provide you with exacting data on which wheel is affected via the touchscreen.

only the trucks I sell at Honda show the individual wheel ... But when you get a low pressure light you should probably check all of them anyways
