  • Citreon - My car will fail it's MoT if I put winter tyres on 23 Dec 2017 (Forum)
    will not cause an issue with an MOT Most vehicle ECUs will store data for both winter and summer tyres and specialist equipment allows clonning of TPMS valves so cheap valves can be fitted and clonned very easily.
