This might be a real noob question, so apologies in advance. I drive a VW Golf GTI 2011 and have just noticed that when I had the local tyre shop replace my two rear tyres recently, they have replaced them with standard tyres rather than run flats like what is on the front. Question is that will the cars Tyre Pressure Monitoring system still work with standard tyres?

The TPMS system works with all tyres it depends which system is fitted direct or indirect. Direct has pressure sensors in each wheel, indirect uses the ABS sensors to calculate the wheel speed. Direct the tyre valves are threaded all the way up.

You need to get your motor scanned (preferably with VAG-COM\VCDS) for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them, that will save a lot of guessing and check systems out.
