TPS in Canada

crank73 · 02-16-2018, 11:57 AM

All,

I'm looking at buying tire/wheel setup. I know that in the States they have TPMS with sensing valve stems and in Canada we have TPS. Can someone confirm that the TPS system in Canada needs no special stem in the wheel? In other words, any wheel / tire combo (correct size of course) will work as Canadian BMWs measure the circumference externally and I don't have to have special gadgets in the wheel that I need to make sure I have installed from the seller or need to remove from my current setup and install in the new setup.
Thanks

Correct, no need for TPMS sensors. The Canadian version uses the ABS system to measure rotational differences between wheels. I believe if they all go down, you will not get a notice.

No sensors by default, but you can order them with 2VB option. So check that you don't have it.
