I remain confused in regards to using dedicated winter non-RFTs on rims in Canada. I was thinking about going with Tireracks Dunlop Sp Winter Sport 3D 205/17/50 on rims with balancing. This would not have tire sensors. Does this confuse the car?

Thanks, Adam.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the TPMS sensors are only for the US market? Our car's computers detect differences in wheel rotation speeds to detect a flat/low tire
