Default S5 Tire replacement

Car should be in within a few weeks. There is a good chance I just change the summer tires to AS. In addition to the Pilot A/S3+, what other all seasons do people like? I think I say Continental mentioned but couldn't find it.

Do these have tire pressure sensors?

There are no sensors for the B9 S5 vehicles.

The system is using the VSA/ABS sensors to determine if the tire is low by calculating the wheel rotations are different than the set amount. That is why when the tires/pressures are changed by the owner the TPMS system needs to be updated to the current tire pressures. That can be done in the vehicle settings in the MMI. The advantage is that you do not have the added expense of TPMS sensors, but the disadvantage is that you do not have a display that shows the current tire pressure of each tire.

I really don’t like the idea of not having individual tire pressures. I guess there is no perfect car.

The RS5 has them, as an option.
