Years of Caravan, now got our new Malibu PVC
Having changed from the Michelin Agilis CP tyres to Continental Vancontact4season tyres I am delighted with the improvement in ride and grip using the lower pressures emailed to me by Continental for my axle weights (47psi or 3,25 bar) on a lightly loaded 6 month old PVC.
I am experimenting with pressures and am currently at 50psi or 3,5 bar to give a little margin for error, but of course the TPMS warning light is on, the display showing the correct 3.5 bar.
In order to get rid of the annoying light I would have to go up to about 4.4 bar with the harshness and lower grip that entails. I have asked a Fiat Professional dealer if they would adjust the target pressure at my expense and although they were willing to do this and said it was a common request, they said that it was not possible as their diagnostic gizmo couldn't access the settings. Has anyone found a way round this?
 
The garage I take my van to are able to adjust this for me. I'm at the opposite end of the country to you though :rolleyes:

I'd be interested to know an e-mail address at Continental, for this information, as I've failed to find one on-line . . .

If you go here https://www.continental-tyres.co.uk/products/car/contact/ and click on the technical request you will get a swift answer from someone who knows what they are talking about (or at least I did!)

Who did you get to adjust your tpms, maybe I could call them to discuss, or even visit them later in the year?

This is the Continental recommended pressure info for their camper tyres that Fiat refuse to recognise. They also instruct their dealers to refuse customers who request a reset of the TMPS settings. After having my vehicle weighed, I run my 2023 Pilote 540 on 3.0 bar front and 3.25 rear that allows an acceptable and safe ride but I have to put up with the TPMS warning light remaining on. Fiat customer care in this instance is severely lacking.
