I have had nothing but top class customer service from Mytyres, including a refund for the difference when the local to me mobile fitter on their website charged more than the site suggested.

Without the correct spigot ring to provide a snug central fit these wheels should not have been fitted to the car at all, without the correct spigot adapter they will never balance because they are travelling in eccentric circles.

I have no doubt Mytyres will sort things out if you give them a chance, i wonder if the spigot rings (cheap multi fit wheels?) were lost in transit.

Not bothering with TPMS on the winters.

Presume you mean the car is not fitted with TPMS since its a legal requirement for it to be working if it was a factory fitment. There would be insurance and other implications if your were involved in an accident and a tyre issue was found to be to blame and the TPMS was not operating.

It would probably not be an offence, however you would be in breach of insurance Ts&Cs for not telling them of a modification, and might be viewed as being in breach of Type Approval.

Basically, your car came with TPMS. Not having that system built into the car available for use - no matter what aftermarket system you may be using (and can you really claim that you ALWAYS use the SatNav based one ?), the system must be shown to be in use at all times - automatically - from startup.

If you had an accident that was due to an underinflated tyre, puncture, or other similar cause and the original in-built system was non-operational then your claim could be refused. That could also cause your insurance to be invalid, which would then be a specific criminal offence.

The above are undoubtedly a highly remote set of possibilities. But someone wins the lottery most weeks, and the chances of that happening are remote too !
