Just about to stick in an order for some 225/60 R16 Dunlop Winter Sport 3Ds and not sure I can live with a warning light on the dash all winter!
In the UK the TPMS works on the ABS sensor and compares rotation speed and therefore diameter to work out if you get a flat, not the pressure. So long as the tyres are all the same size you don't have a problem

Just preference. It's easier to swap over the wheels + you can use less cared about rims during winter, then revert to your summer rims.

i suppose.

Just seems a waste to me, Mine still has the M sport wheels and winter tyres without the cost of extra rims.
