Tyre pressure indicator

Mine came on last night. When I got home I checked all tyres and they were still the same pressure , just pressed button again to reset. Very odd !!!

Are your tyres the same same tread depth across the axle ?

Tyre pressure system is passive and works on rolling radius. So any decrease eg different sized alloy, different tyre etc will set it off. Has a threshold before it activates too so it won't tell you immediately.
