Laguna dynamique tyre question - daniel1
Hi, I need two new front tyres for my Renault Laguna dynamique 1.9 DCi, each costing approx. £187 plus VAT due to the pressure sensor. My question is can I buy non sensor tyres and what if anything happens if I do?

Your display will show a fault on the display. The pressure sensor is in the valve not the tyre. I understood you can unscrew the sensor and put back on a new valve. You have to makie sure each sensor goes back on the same wheel. Is it your renault dealer quoting this price?

When I needed to change the tyres on my LagunaII Tourer in 2002, there had been some talk that this had to be done by dealers, in order for the pressure sensors to work. This reduced to having to take the car to dealer to get the sensors reset, if someone else changed the tyres. When I enquired, KwikFit said that they knew how to handle them and changed the fronts, then later the rears, (iirc, once at a depot, once via mobile van)- no problems at all.

I had a V6 a few years back that kindly munched its way through tyres like they where 50p each, but even back then when they were brand new with these sensor things i had no trouble finding a tyre place that sorted the sensors out. Only time i had trouble was when one of the metal dust caps had corroaded and was stuck on the valve and they tried their best not to break the valve but did so.
£187+vat each for the tyres is a bit steep also, i think i roughly paid about £280 for a pair all in inc vat, but I would expect them to be a bit cheaper now as they are quite common.
