TPMS and winter wheel/tire combos Canadian R53

Hey guys,

Starting to think about winter wheels and tires (to buy used wheels at least) for my R53.

As far as I know there are tire pressure sensors in it now with the 17" wheels. (I had a light come on one day to remind me this and I pumped up the tire that was ~3psi low)

This leads to my question: If i buy wheels and tires without TPMS is the car going to give me the same audible beep and light when I am driving as when I had to inflate my tire-but every time i drive? I read that there MAY be a possibility that canadian r53 may or may not but it hasnt been confirmed that I can find online.

I would obviously prefer to just buy the wheels and tires and go, but a light in the dash/speedo would drive me nuts.

Thanks,
Matt
