Searching around not seen any 270m wheels with the grey RDC pressure sensors.
I assume there is no way (without coding) to switch the car from RDC to the old method of measuring wheel rotation speed via abs sensors whilst winters are on?
Fitting RDC sensors to already mounted tyres obviously adds to the cost somewhat.
Just got a pristine set of 270M's with 6mm tread Michelin Alpins for £400 off gumtree. Just need to get a set of the tpms rdc sensors fitted. so winters all sorted for under £600.
Not bad at all.
You may find 17" goes over the rear calipers - my Renaultsport Mégane spare wheel only fitted on the rear - if I had a front puncture I had to use a rear wheel and then the spare on the rear!!
- OEM Wheel Part Number: 36 11 6 768 861 - £64.94
- OEM Jack Part Number: 71 12 6 866 211 - £65.87
Tyre: Bridgestone 145/70R18 - £57 - sized to suit M2
Spacer: 5mm spacer to clear the front brake caliper (front only). The wheel does actually clear, just, but the 5mm spacer makes certain. It's not needed at the rear, there is plenty of clearance.
Had front & rear wheels off so it's all been tested & fits fine.
270M's now fitted.
The fronts only just clear the calipers though. In fact one rubbed lightly when initially trial fitted with bolts hand tight, once all wheel bolts were nipped fully up it just cleared the caliper but it's very close.
In yesterday's snow an sheet ice I powered up a hill where there was 3/4 vehicles abandoned. I could see them all looking think he's got no chance, left them all scratching their heads
