Hypermiler, OK I have found where I bookmarked the links I found most useful when researching the whole issue of tyre and wheel sizes when I started looking at buying a set of winter tyres/wheels for my PHEV. The J & JJ designate the tyre bead profile/rim contour specification. The website I...

Hypermiler, The standard Mitsubishi wheel offset is 38 but 40 should also fit OK with the standard 16" tyres. The standard Mitsubishi 16" wheel size is 16 x 6.5 JJ. This is also the same size as used on the Peugeot 4007 or C Crosser. I think I was also looking at the Dezent 16" 6.5J wheels...

Avensys: Interesting that your PHEV delivered 1 July did not have TPMS, mine was delivered to the garage around 27 July and as far as I understand arrived on a ship which docked early July. When you scroll through the setting menu on the car do you have the entry for TPMS RESET after the...

Hi Hypermiler, Just be careful you may actually have factory fitted TPMS on your PHEV without realising it. We got our PHEV in July 2014 and as there is no mention of TPMS in the manual we assumed we did not have it fitted to our PHEV. It was only when I went to get my new winter tyres fitted...

Hi Jaapv, I have looked at the Steelmate system and it does look really good, I think I might buy one for my other car which has no TPMS. However for the PHEV it does not seems as simple as just removing the sensors as that is what I have effectively just done and the OEM TPMS of course is not...

Do you know whether you will need to get the car reprogrammed back to the summer tyres/wheels when you swap them back? I decided to fit winter tyres to my Outlander PHEV (UK July 2014 model) in preparation for travelling to the Alps this winter and having researched the options decided to go...

I decided to fit winter tyres to my Outlander PHEV (UK July 2014 model) in preparation for travelling to the Alps this winter and having researched the options decided to go for a separate set of 16 inch wheels for the winter tyres to make it easier to swap between winter and summer tyres. I...
