BMC - Yeah, I was in Future Shop last week and I decided to pick up a copy of Photoshop because everyone but me seems to use it! I'm learning a bit from various tutorials, but I primarily use it to resize my pics from my digital camera.

I'm not looking this year as I still have to burn up the rubber on my winters.
Does anybody know if this is a problem. The centre 'hub' that gets exposed by putting on steel rims with no wheel covers gets all rusty. Should I be trying to remove this rust and applying rust proofing spray? If I do, it doesn't look easy to clean. I've been doing this for 3 winters now and finally it dawns on me.
This part seems to rust very easily as I just put snow tires on steel rims on my new Ody and voila, rust on the centre hub.

Unfortunately, I cannot help with the rust problem.
But I do have a question for you guys. Today as I was driving to Niagara Falls, and the Low Tire Pressure light came on. I pulled over to check the tires, but they were fine. I've had my winter setup for about 2 weeks and have not had this light come on before. Was it because I was at higher speeds on the highway? It came on maybe 30Km into my trip. Should I be concerned or is this normal since I have smaller tires and a non-staggered setup?
On a side note, I must have seen 6 or 7 Gs today and they were all on summers still ...

If you didn't it is not a problem, the majority of people do not run them year round. Your car will sense they are not there after usually 30 to 50 kms and after driving at highway speeds. It will not do it all the time but the light will come on occassionally, as long as an alarm doesn't come on, it's no biggie. The light resets itself after you shut the car off.
Hope that helps.

I do not believe I have these sensors in the winter tires, because at the shop I took it to, they did not take the stock tires off the stock rims (I'm assuming this sensor is inside the tire). What I find weird is that up until today, this light never came on. I've started the car maybe 10 times today, and every time the light flashes for 1 minute and then stays turned on.

What you describe is exactly the way my 05 behaved when I had no sensors in the winter tires.
